They shouldn't call Iceland,
Iceland 28 min.
This film is a captivating intro-
duction to the island. The historic
and the contemporary are expertly
blended in the film. A brief trip to
Greenland reveals the eerie and
crystal beauty of the iceflows and
icebergs — an almost mystical green
and gold world. About 20 minutes
from Iceland by air is the island of
Heimaey where one can have the
unique experience of becoming per-
sonally acquainted with a volcano.
The film is absolutely beautiful — it
is perfect entertainment for the
whole family. The sponsors are the
Iceland Tourist Board and Icelandic
Airlines — Icelandair. The pro-
ducers are Film Authors, Inc.
Three Faces of Iceland 25 min.
This film traces the history of
Iceland in words and images
through the centuries and uses the
celebration of 11 hundred years of
settlement in 1974 as a springboard.
You see the pageant of Icelandic
history unfurl from pagan Viking
times to our days. (1974).
Iceland Story 24 min.
A presentation of modern Iceland,
truly a land of contrasts. You will
see glimpses of Iceland today, the

attractions and beautiful scenery.
Iceland is unspoiled, unpolluted and
uncrowded, a wonderland of water-
falls, hot springs, icecaps and vol-
canoes. (1969)
Prospect of Iceland 28 min.
This film gives a wide ranging
look at Iceland. It shows vividly the
contrast between hot springs and
volcanoes on one hand and glaciers
and barren highlands on the other.
The film traces the history of
Iceland from settlement in the 9th
and lOth centuries to our time,
when Iceland has emerged as an in-
dependent country with a standard
of living rivaling the highest in
Europe. The film shows the devel-
opment of such basic industries as
fishing and farming to highly
sophisticated mechanized in-
dustries.
Spring in Iceland 21 min.
The subject of this film is the vivid
contrast between hot springs and
volcanoes and great glaciers which

life and fauna of Iceland which can
best be seen in the spring. (1973)
On Top of the World 20 min.
The most northerly capital in the
world is Reykjavík, the capital of
Iceland. This city, which 1100 years
ago was named "The.Smoky Bay"
has no need for chimnies, as the
whole city is heated by natural hot
water. It was actually the steam
from the hot springs that made the
settlers, who named the place
"Sfnoky Bay”, think that it was
regular smoke from fire that they
had seen. The film shows this
modern city of some 90 thousand
inhabitants and its people, the de-
scendents of Scandinavian Vikings
and Scottish and Irish settlers.
Iceland—Saga of the Sea 28 min.
This film describes the Icelandic
fishing industry and follows the pro-

the consumer. This film was made
as a promotional film by the Icelan-
dic Freezing Plants Corporation.

Bubble 14 min.
The subject of this film is the great
variety of geothermal activity to be

spouting geysers to be found in fer-
tile valleys or five thousand feet up

the icecap of Iceland's glaciers.
(1967)
Birth of an Island 24 min.
This film traces the undersea
eruption off the south coast of
Iceland which created the island
Surtsey in the years 1963 to 1965.
The film starts with a general
description of volcanic areas in
Iceland. It goes on to show spectac-
ular pillars of volcanic ash rising to a
height of over 30 thousand feet,
great explosions when flowing lava
meets the cold ocean at
temperatures of two thousand two
hundred degrees Fahrenheit and.
concludes with the efforts of scien-
tists to study the eruption. (1965)
Surtsey — Description available
from Audience Planners Inc.
Sequel to Surtsey 16 min.
Following the undersea eruption
which created Surtsey off the south
coast of Iceland two smaller islands
were created. The first was Syrt-
lingur which reached a size of 40
acres and a height of a hundred feet
and Christmas Island which became
20 feet high and 70 acres in size.
Both were washed away by the
ocean. The film describes their crea-
tion and disappearance. (1967)
