Knútur Haukstein Ólafsson tells us about his projects and the variety of work he has been doing since graduating from the Film School

Knútur Haukstein is a versatile individual that graduated from the Acting department of the Icelandic Film School. Yesterday a music video with the band Major Pink was released, but in it Knútur directed and filmed as well as writing the script with the bands singer, Gunnar Ingi Valgeirsson. We got in touch with Knútur and got to pry a little bit.

What allures me the most to film making is that it is an art form that can bring together so many different artistic expressions. Films are stories, music, photographs, graphic novels and paintings, combined together under one group called “Films”. The possibilities are endless but they do have in common that you can tell a story with moving pictures.

Music is obviously also tantalizing and Knútur has been able to combine these passions well.
