Skjaldborg Documentary Festival: Skjaldborg – the Icelandic Documentary Film Festival wrapped up its 19th edition in Patreksfjörður, with Amongst the Birds winning the Audience Award and Plomb Culture taking Best Short. The programme also spotlighted guest filmmakers from Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Sápmi. Skjaldborg Festival (Work-in-Progress): The festival’s annual WIP showcase featured six feature-length projects in development, including Beautiful Silence, following glaciologist Leifur Jónsson’s final measuring trip. Road Safety: Iceland’s Transport Authority reports fewer people were injured or killed in heavy motorcycle accidents last year (35 total), with risk now about half of what it was in 2016 despite a 29% rise in registered heavy bikes. EU Travel Rules: New Entry/Exit System rollout is still causing major airport queues and missed flights, with Iceland included in the Schengen area affected by biometric checks. Culture & Climate on Screen: National Geographic’s Time and Water follows Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason as glaciers die, blending personal archives with nature footage. Reykjavík Social Life: Reykjavík’s “apéro” culture is evolving into a distinct summer ritual—small plates, lingering conversation, and earlier evenings that fit the city’s long light. Education & Community: An Icelandic official praised a school-feeding programme in Malawi’s Nkhotakota District for strong local ownership that can keep it running after donors leave.
