Puppet game created by different departments of IFS – Exciting process

These last days have been lively at the Icelandic Film School. Students are busy working on a pilot, Puppet game, shot at our oldest theatre in central Reykajvík, Iðnó and a church nearby the capital.

It is a project were departments of the school work closely together, both teachers and students. The original idea of Puppet game comes from Head of acting, Hlín Agnarsdóttir and the screenplay was written with the student by Atli Friðbergsson, which also directs the pilot.

The group of actors consists of 3rd semester acting students and they are joined by one of Icelands most prestigious actors, Arnar Jónsson. Their teacher this semester is Þorsteinn Gunnar Bjarnason. Students in 2nd semester Creative Technology are in charge of the set and costumes, guided by Linda Stefánsdóttir with 3rd semester students take care of cinematography, led by Jonathan Devaney.

1st semester students in Directing/Producing are organizing everything as well as seeing to everyone getting at least some nutrition. When all the shooting is done the processing will be in the hands of 3rd semester Creative Technology.

We went along to the set yesterday with the camera.
