<\/p>\nThe short film \u201eK\u00edl\u00f3metrar\u201c, written, directed and starring \u00d3li Gunnar Gunnarsson and Vilberg Andri, was selected for the \u201eNew York Indie Short Awards\u201c film festival and premiered there recently. \u00d3li Gunnar and Vilberg Andri are part of a group of young people who worked in creative summer jobs for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in the summer of 2021. At the end of the film, you can hear a beautiful, original song by Vilberg Andri, which he both sings and plays. The song is titled after the film and will be released on Spotify in February.<\/p>\n
K\u00edl\u00f3metrar is about two best friends who are heading in different directions in life and are saying goodbye at Keflavik Airport. One of them is going to study abroad and plans to make a new life for himself in a new place. The other is staying in Iceland, moving in with his girlfriend and looking for a job. The script is loosely based on the friends' own experiences of growing up in Iceland and facing that big decision and big step for quite a few people: to move abroad or not? The short film is one long scene set in a single car, all shot in one take. Veteran Eir\u00edkur Ingi B\u00f6\u00f0varsson handled the filming and post-production, while Brynjar Unnsteinsson mixed the sound for the film.<\/p>\n

\u201c New York Indie Short Awards<\/a> \u201c is the first short film festival to screen the film and hopefully the beginning of a journey to more screenings at festivals in 2022. It is hoped that the film will be accepted into several festivals in Iceland this autumn.<\/p>\n \u00d3li Gunnar and Vilberg Andri met on the art stream at Verslunarsk\u00f3li \u00cdslands and immediately hit it off through theatre, and were, among other things, together in the video committee, Rj\u00f3manum. After graduating from Versl\u00f3, a period followed in which the friends took on various theatre-related projects and participated in productions. Thus, \u00d3li Gunnar, among other things, directed 'Fyrsta Skipti\u00f0' at the Gaflar Theatre with others before he went to the Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Music in England. Around the same time, Vilberg was accepted into the LAMDA Theatre School in London. In the summer of 2021, the friends were looking for summer work and wanted nothing more than to work on a project related to the arts and creativity. They were accepted into Creative Jobs with the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and used the summer to write, act and develop their idea for a short film amongst a group of creative individuals.<\/p>\n Creative summer jobs with the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are part of the summer programme for the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work School. Creative summer jobs are advertised separately in the spring, and individuals and groups are invited to submit ideas for creative projects with their application, which are designed to bring even more life to the town during the summer. make it even more fun, beautiful and diverse with artistic and creative events. Particular consideration is given to the diversity of projects and their appeal to different age groups and interests. Selected groups will then have the opportunity to liven up the social life and entertainment in the heart of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, delighting tourists and residents with all sorts of initiatives. The groups were based at the youth centre Hamrin.<\/a><\/p>\n Stuttmyndin K\u00edl\u00f3metrar frums\u00fdnd \u00e1 stuttmyndah\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0 \u00ed New York Stuttmyndin „K\u00edl\u00f3metrar“ sem er skrifu\u00f0, leikst\u00fdr\u00f0 og leikin af \u00d3la Gunnari Gunnarssyni og Vilbergi Andra komst inn \u00e1 stuttmyndah\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0ina „New York Indie Short Awards“ og var frums\u00fdnd \u00fear \u00e1 d\u00f6gunum. \u00d3li Gunnar og Vilberg Andri eru hluti af h\u00f3pi \u00feeirra ungmenna sem unnu vi\u00f0 skapandi sumarst\u00f6rf hj\u00e1 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_wds_title":"","_wds_metadesc":"","_wds_focus-keywords":"","_wds_meta-robots-adv":"","_wds_meta-robots-noindex":false,"_wds_meta-robots-nofollow":false,"_wds_meta-robots-index":false,"_wds_meta-robots-follow":false,"_wds_autolinks-exclude":false,"_wds_canonical":"","_wds_redirect":"","_wds_opengraph":[],"_wds_twitter":[],"_breakdance_hide_in_design_set":false,"_breakdance_tags":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frettir"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14894"}],"curies":[{"name":"WordPress","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Screenshot-2021-09-12-at-22.35.01\"](\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/screenshot-2021-09-12-at-22.35.01.png\")
