Apausalypse
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the film 'The Third Pole.' This led filmmakers, including director Anní Ólafsdóttir, to document the surreal atmosphere of lockdown life in Iceland. Joined by cameraman Andri Haraldsson, they captured the void left by the pandemic and the creative adaptations of artists and filmmakers during this time. 'Apausalypse' reflects on how the pandemic reshaped perspectives within the film industry and the broader cultural landscape. The film runs for 52 minutes and features a cast that includes Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir and Ellen Loftsdottir, among others, presenting a unique view of life during lockdown in Iceland.
