Millennium Arts -South Social Cineclub: Iceland – Filmmakers Q&A
by Beckypublished on 15th June 2021
South Social Film Festival flew over to Iceland and met a very intriguing filmmaker, Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson and his film Under the tree. His films are a mix of true stories, quirky twists and very dark humour. We discussed with our loyal crowd, dissecting the film and learning about a new feature that he will be shooting in London during the winter. Kudos to the director and the crowd!
