Music Art Films Events
In collaboration with this year’s Reykja-
vík International Film Festival, the Kino
movement will offer aspiring artists an
opportunity to partake in a Kino Kaba-
ret, titled, Grettir Kabaret 2007.
Kino first started in Montreal on
January 1999 when two friends decided
to produce an original short film every
month until the end of the year. 200
short films later, Kino was born. Inspired
by kinè, a Greek word meaning “move-
ment,” Kino works around the concepts
‘independence’ and ‘freedom of expres-
sion’. Its mission is to gather artists who
believe that the importance of a cin-
ematographic work does not rest solely
on the amount of its production budget.
Its motto - “Do well with nothing, do
better with little and do it now!”
Kino Kabaret is a production labo-
ratory based within the festival’s setting,
where films are created by participating
Kinoïtes (Kino members) from around
the world. Every morning during the
Kino Kabaret, a meeting and brainstorm
session takes place at the Kinolab. Local
Directors, Actors and Musicians are in-
vited to join the meetings and partici-
pate in the Kabaret. Teams are formed
and then off they go for the day The
material is decided, produces, shot, ed-
ited and screened with in 48 hours.
The Kinolab is the core of the Kabaret.
It requires a wide space, provided by the
festival, where the Kino Kabaret TEAM
can set up their headquarters with all
of the production necessaries, such as
video and audio equipment, lights, edit-
ing stations, food, coffee, enthusiasm,
encouragement and love.
Kinolab is also a production meet-
ing space. It should easily be accessible
to the Kino Kabaret team as well as any
curious festival goer and organiser, who
want to see the Kinoïtes in action.

On Wednesday, September 26, pop
veteran Elíza Geirsdóttir Newman will
hold a release-party and concert to
celebrate her first solo album, Empire
Fall. This will be Eliza’s first concert in
Iceland in approximately three years.
Eliza established the all-female Kol-
rassa Krókríðandi at 16 and has later
been known as Bellatrix, a band that
went on to win Músíktilraunir, an an-
nual Icelandic battle of the bands that
has been the launch pad for many
of the country’s biggest names in
music.
Eliza, who sings and plays the
violin, will be accompanied by a new
band, consisting of Guðmundur Pé-
tursson on guitar, Birgir Baldursson
on drums, Jakob Smári Magnússon
on bass, and Arndís Hreiðarsdóttir on
piano and glockenspiel. Mammút will
open up the show. Concert starts at
21:00, 1000 ISK in.

Photography exhibition by Danish pho-
tographer Kim Linnet. The exhibtiotion
consists of nine big photographs, each
one 100cm x 512cm in size. The photos
are taken in Reykjavik, on Snæfellsness
and on Reykjanes. The circular form of
the photographs symbolizes nine plan-
ets that has always been here, but are
normally hidden; just like the elves of
Iceland.
Each photograph consists of more
than 50 different digital images that are
glued together with a special software.
The process makes it possible to create
panoramic images that shows the entire
surroundings, including the ground and
sky, from the place where the photos
where taken. Portraying the world this
way of makes us rediscover the beauty
and the details in our surroundings and
you will want to go closer and examine
the pictures, searching for details and
landmarks that you know are there.

“Dagblaðið Víísir! 1960-200” or
Afternoon Press Photography in Ice-
land is the newest exhibit at the Rey-
kjavík Museum of Photography. The
name is taken from the shouts of the
street-vender paperboys, advertising
the daily news. The exhibit features
photographs published in newspa-
pers throughout Iceland over the
past four decades, highlighting the
role of photojournalism on relating
major events in our lives, and telling
stories about the people, places,
and country that takes center stage.
The exhibit also explores the ever
moving eye of the photojournalist,
living day to day eager to capture
the next moment that will be of
importance to the nation.
The exhibit features about 150
photographs all from the archives of
365, which the Reykjavík Museum
of Photography took over conser-
vation of last year. The collection is
one of the biggest privately owned
collection of photographs in the
country and includes photographs
from the afternoon papers Vísir
(1961 – 1981), Dagblaðið (1975
– 1981), and DV (1981 – 2002).
The collection also includes paper
copies of the newspapers as well
as films from the first production
year of Fréttablaðið in 2001. Now
on display through November 25.

Græni Hatturinn, Akureyri –September 21
The Icelandic painter Eggert Péturs-
son, receiver of the 2006 Carnegie Art
Award’s, 2nd prize is currently exhibit-
ing in two locations in Reykjavík.
Petursson’s subject is the delicate Icelan-
dic flora. Displayed in conceptual paint-
ings, rather than decorative, his unique
paintings of the minute tundra flowers
of Iceland’s seemingly barren landscape
reveal the universe within. Abstract at a
distance, at close inspection his canvas-
es are hyper-realistic—an infinite regres-
sion of painstaking brush detail creating
each petal, stem, and leaf.
Pétursson will be exhibiting 100 paint-
ings at i8 gallery, the fruits of more
than two years of work, where Iceland’s
short-lived summer is described in three
different ways through the most deli-
cate Icelandic flora. Reykjavík Art Mu-
seum – Kjarvalsstaðir hosts a retrospec-
tive exhibition, featuring more than 50
works, some of which have never been
exhibited before.
