“Anima” by Bjorgvin Sigurdsson

To celebrate the 25th year of The Icelandic Film School we will be showing 25 chosen graduation films from graduates of the past years. This time it will be the shortfilm  “Anima” from the spring semester of 2012

The short film “Anima” was the graduation project of Bjorgvin Sigurdarson that graduated from Creative Technology in the spring of 2012

Speaking with Bjorgvin, who was the cinematographer of the film, he said;

“Ever since I started taking photographs I have had a strong desire to look at life around me from a different perspective. The search for frames has followed me since and when I began my studies at The Film School I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but no idea on how I was going to do it. Thankfully there was a group of good people there that was always available to assist and taught me all I needed to know and so much I did not know that I needed to know. Since then I have enjoyed shooting music videos, visuals and short films, but my main passion is documentary making. After having finished my first full length documentary last year  with another former student, Hallur Orn Arnason, we are now working on the second one, a remake of a film I originally did at The Film School. Film making is such a beautiful art form, but it is only possible through quality team work and that is what makes it so amazing to me”

Enjoy !
