When The Light Breaks (2024) aka Ljósbrot at London Film Festival and Fár (2023)

Halló! In this week's minisode Rob and Ellie, together with guest Natalie Peck, head to Reykjavík, by way of the BFI London Film Festival! In a non-spoiler discussion, they chat about the one Icelandic movie that had its UK premiere as part of the 2024 festival. That film is 'When The Light Breaks' starring Elín Hall, directed by Rúnar Rúnarsson, not the Icelandic footballer who plays in goal for the national team, but the director of the wonderful 'Echo' which was discussed in an earlier series, and with music by Jóhann Jóhannsson. The group also discuss a short film that recently dropped on Disney+, 'Fár' directed by Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter and with cinematography by Eli Arenson.   Natalie can be found on X @nataliepeck Please subscribe/follow, rate and review on Spotify and Apple and Follow us on Instagram kvikmyndapod  X @KVIKMYNDAPOD Threads @kvikmyndapod Join in the conversation on Discord And if you fancy supporting us, why not sling us the cost of a coffee!   Artwork designed by Sophie Watts (justahappyspace)   Music by Branches Bare ('Half-light' from the EP 'In the Origami Folds of the Night You Rip the Seam of Sleep Wide Open)
