Nordic Viking Film Screened at US Conference
Icelandic-Swedish Viking film Embla (2007), directed by Hrafn Gunnlaugsson, will have its US debut at a student conference hosted by the German and Scandinavian studies division at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) on February 15.
Embla is the director’s cut of Gunnlaugsson’s 1991 The White Viking, the last film of his “Raven Triology,” starring young Swedish actress Marie Bonnevie as Embla. The film features the struggle between followers of the Norse Viking religion and Christianity.
