Many of our artists are filmmakers. The Skagaströnd community, and Iceland at large is often featured.

Whilst at NES in 2019, long-time collaborators Alia Malley and Noah Herzog spent time finishing the edit for their beautifully constructed 3-channel video projection and installation: ‘The Logic of Events’. Due to COVID, the full installation and exhibiiton has been postponed, and instead, the video has been formatted to be presented online.
The film The Logic of Events has been selected as part of the Isolation Film Festival.
