“ Sunday morning, 11:00. Þorvaldseyri farm. Autumn
has arrived, but this morning is sunny
and unseason-
ably mild. The
waves of a
golden field of
rapeseed f low-
ers undulate
in the gentle
breeze almost
as far as the eye
can see „
Mark O’Brien visits the South Iceland farms
pioneering the revolutionary rapeseed
crop, which experts hope will save the
environment.

P.6
“ Einar insists that saving our skyr is worth the effort:
‘Consumers like to buy pro-
duce that has a
genuine local
connection.
Today many
people tend to
prefer original
authentic local
fare to goods
that are mass-
produced by big global corporations.
And this will benefit farmers back in
Iceland too.’ „
Does skyr need official status as a “product
of Iceland”? Industry leaders say yes.
P.16
“ It’s five years later and he’s in Reykjavík, drawing
on the walls of the D Gallery
on the second f loor of Reykjavík Art
Museum’s Hafnarhús building. „
Someone’s been drawing on the walls at the
RVK Art Museum! But don’t worry, we’ve
been to check it out—it’s all for art, guys.
P.32
“ ‘When The Raven Flies’ has aged well and though
Hrafn at-
tempted more
complex takes
on the Viking
Age in later
epics, he never
did it better.
Anyone with
an interest in
Icelandic cinema (or Vikings) needs to
go see this . „
As RIFF 2012 storms into town, we pick out
some of the programme highlights—including
Hrafn Gunnlaugsson’s quintessentially
Icelandic ‘When The Raven Flies’.
