Regina!- Babak Shokrian
Summer has arrived in Iceland, and all the children are leaving for summer camp. All except 10-year-old Regina, that is. Her father has passed away and her mother works at a home for the elderly and can't afford to send her. While home alone killing time, Regina discovers she has a gift: she can hypnotize people with her singing. Her friend Peter shows his talent for finding words that rhyme and together they realize that they can make people to do whatever they want. How about if her mother and his father got married? Maybe she could go to camp after all. All at once Regina and Peter find themselves at the beginning of an unforgettable adventure. For those who loved last year's family hit, Ikigut, Regina! was made by the same producers. A charming and vibrant musical romp for film lovers of all ages. (95 mins.)

Filmography: America So Beautiful (00).

The Sea- Baltasar Kormakur
Feeling his strength decline, Thordur, the old, feared and respected head of his family, invites his children to come back to the village to set his affairs in order-namely their mother's inheritance and the family business, which has made him one of the most powerful men in this small Icelandic fishing community. His hopes rest on Agust, his younger son, a business student in Paris living with a French girlfriend. Thordur is convinced that Agust will come back and stay after completing his studies in order to take over the fishery currently managed by Haraldur, the elder son he does not particularly trust. But the autocratic Thordur doesn't know that Agust has totally different plans for his future. As the family gathers to ponder their destiny, old ghosts and secrets erupt like geysers. Things will be different that anyone's plan imagined. At once a compelling family saga and a reflection on the impact of globilization on local economies, Kormakur interjects his off-kilter humor to add to the surprises. This year's Icelandic submission for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. (109 mins.) Print courtesy of Palm Pictures.
Filmography: 101 Reykjavik (00).
