Huldufólk 102 Directed and Produced by Nisha Inalsingh Cinematographer: Sean Kirby Music: Múm, Sigur Ros, Arvo Pärt Summary: Beneath the quiet veneer of Iceland lies an invisible nation of huldufólk (hidden people). This fascinating phenomenon, rarely discussed with outsiders, not only pervades Icelandic culture, but also impacts its infrastructure (e.g., road construction and buildings). This enlightening journey, through Iceland’s celestial and mysterious environment, suspends one’s state of reality—forcing you to question your own perceptual limitations and the mysteries of the natural world. Winter’s darkness allows the dazzling and supernatural Northern Lights to pervade the country with its amorphous shapes; casting brilliant colors of yellow, pink, and green downward to the land below. Black lava rocks, green mossy rocks, geysers, volcanoes, and glaciers all play their role in this mystical landscape, where the wind, snow and light show the power of nature. These spectacular displays reveal the paradoxes that man must contend with–the simplicity of things that we see on a daily basis versus the complexity of things we are unable to see within the world. |
