Country Iceland:
Amongst the Birds
Understated Icelandic humour and breathtaking landscapes in a charming and picturesque film about birds and people – and about a deeply lovable elderly couple and their friends.
Mika Kaurismäki, Ragnar Axelsson & Ingvar Þórðarson / Iceland / 2026 / World Premiere
If Luck Will Come
Through beautiful images and with a camera at eye level with its young protagonists, we gain a rare insight into what it means to grow up in Afghanistan after the Taliban took power.
Camille Bildsøe / Denmark, Iceland & Norway / 2026 / World Premiere
Joan of Arc
As the seasons change, three young siblings build a knight figure as a target in a field on the edge of the world. A minimalist and very funny film by Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason.
Mother Creature + Joan of Arc
Two intense short films about faith, strength and inner fault lines: 'Mother Creature' by Maria Tórgarð and 'Joan of Arc' by Hlynur Pálmason.
Time and Water
Iceland's ancient landscapes are changing, and for author Andri Snær Magnason, the deep changes are about more than ice. A thoughtful and existential film from the director of ‘Fire of Love’.
Sara Dosa / United States & Iceland / 2026
