Cinema of Iceland
Iceland has a notable cinema film industry, with many Icelandic actors having gone on to receive international attention. The most famous film, and the only one to be nominated for the Academy Award and European Film Awards, is Börn náttúrunnar, directed by Friðrik Þór Friðriksson. This film brought Icelandic cinema to the international scene, which has since grown to its height, with films such as Nói Albínói by Dagur Kári, heralded as descendants of the Icelandic film tradition.
The Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur also directed 101 Reykjavík, Hafið, A Little Trip to Heaven, and Mýrin.
