A recent addition to the Icelandic film
cusine is the newly established film-
club “Fjalakötturinn,” which will have
regular film screenings in Tjarnarbíó
every Sunday and Monday until May.
Nearly 30 films constitute the club’s
spring program and all screenings are
without intermission and lengthy trail-
ers. Membership is 4000 ISK and gives
access for one person to all the films
shown on the spring schedule, as well
as discount charges for the Reykjavík
International Film Festival taking place
in September and October.
In addition, members receive
monthly newsletters with informa-
tion and articles about the club’s pro-
gramme and films, as well as news
from the world of cinema in general
(written in Icelandic). In addition, the
restaurant Fjalakötturinn in Aðalstræti
offers special discounts for members,
including two beers for the price of
one on club screening days. Individual
tickets for the club’s screenings are
available for the regular movie price of
900 ISK at the ticket office in Tjarnar-
bíó, which is open half an hour prior
to every day’s first screening.
Among this months, selections is
also a special programme dedicated
to the French photographer, journal-
ist and filmmaker Raymond Depar-
don. Born into a family of farmers in
1942 in Burgundy he went to Paris in
1958, wishing to be a photographer.
He later opened his own photography
agency, Gamma, before becoming
a member of Magnum Photography.
Famous for his coverage of the wars
in Vietnam, Algeria, Congo and Chile,
he later turned to films as his medium.
In cooperation with Pourquoi Pas?,
Fjalakötturinn has selected eight of
Depardon’s films for screening. The
films are divided into three different
categories: Journalists (Le Reporters),
The Farmers (Le Monde Paysan) and
Justice (Le Justice), with each cat-
egory documenting a certain subject
through the eyes of Depardon.
Other selections include several
films adapted from children’s stories
by Astrid Lindgren, such as Ronia the
Robber’s Daughter, The Children of
Noisy Village and the Brothers Lion-
heart. SBB
