About this Event

The Mountain (Icelandic: Fjallið) is a coming-of-age story of family, fate, and the cosmos.

Teacher and amateur astronomer María (Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir) plans a trip with her family into the highlands to photograph a comet she thinks she's discovered. On the day, her husband Atli (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) and daughter Anna (Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney, daughter of Björk) cannot go with her. A twist of fate ensues that upends their lives and leads them in another orbit. We join a father and daughter in a stunning adventure through Iceland's highlands, in a journey that explores how a family can heal from grief.

Icelandic with English subtitles; runtime 1 hour 30 min.

Saturday, May 9th | 1pm | $10, $5 for members | tickets
