FOCUS 2024 COUNTRY
The focus of the 2024 edition of the Arcs Film Festival will be Iceland. Through a selection of films in the programme, as well as feature film projects in the Industry Village, the festival will endeavour to showcase the many talents of the Nordic island. The festival has invited a number of guests, including a delegation of film and music professionals, as well as Icelandic talent, to present the films to the public.
Les Arcs Film Festival has a special relationship with Iceland, having welcomed several films, projects and talents in the past. These include Rúnar Rúnarsson (Sparrows, Echo), Grímur Hákonarson (Rams, The County), Baltasar Kormákur (The Deep), Dagur Kári (Virgin Mountain), Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson (Beautiful Beings, Heartstone), Ísold Uggadóttir (And Breathe Normally), Valdimar Jóhannsson (Lamb) and Ninna Pálmadóttir (Solitude). In 2022, the festival team also organised a week in Paris dedicated to Icelandic culture, called Islenska Vikan.
This focus is organised in partnership with the Icelandic Film Centre. 🇮🇸
