Research

Articles and interviews on research into the collection of the National Film Archive of Iceland and the history of Icelandic filmmaking.

In early 2021 the National Film Archive of Iceland was accredited by the Museum Council and then received a 12 million ISK centre-of-excellence grant for research in 2021–2023. Gunnar Tómas Kristófersson, a doctoral student, was hired for the project.

The grant is earmarked for research on the country’s first filmmakers: Kjartan Ó. Bjarnason, Vigfús Sigurgeirsson and Ósvaldur Knudsen.
