Kristjansson-Nelson’s Sveit premieres at Walker Art Center
Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson’s experimental documentary, Sveit, will premiere at the Walker Art Center as part of the Women with Vision 2010 International Film Festival. Sveit will screen daily from noon during gallery hours March 2 through March 31. A geneography of memory and place, Sveit was shot in a rural village on the north coast of Iceland. The filmmaker traces her family’s history and emigration from Iceland to the United States, while unpacking memories and stories of her grandfather’s experience as a New American in North Dakota. Meanwhile, Kristjansson negotiates the relationship between landscape, language, mythology and ritual with the help of the local first through fourth grade Icelandic children. Sveit was funded in part by the Bush Foundation, the Corporation of Yaddo, the Fulbright Association, and Skaftfell Menningarmidstod. Click headline for more information.
