From June 20 to 24, the documenta-
ry Kjötborg, directed by Helga Rakel
Rafnsdóttir and Hulda Rós Guðnadóttir,
will be screened at Háskólabíó movie
theatre. The film centres on the brothers
and grocers Gunnar and Kristján, who
have operated the neighbourhood
corner shop Kjötborg on Ásvallagata
for decades. While supermarket-chains
have taken over the city, their store is
one of the very few charming groceries
remaining. Kjötborg, which documents
the brother’s daily lives and the many
regulars relying on the store for their
daily groceries, won the audience
award at this year’s Skjaldborg Film
Festival. The film has English subtitles
and will only be shown these few days,
so you better hurry.
