Lucas, an idealistic but naive young Lutheran clergyman, is on his way to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. With the help of a translator and guide, he must journey across the spectacular and dangerous terrain, littered with glaciers and rivers. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, the mission and morality, with unexpected and shocking repercussions. Suggesting Heart of Darkness or Aguirre, the Wrath of God reimagined by Andrei Tarkovsky, Hlynur Pálmason’s Godland offers an analysis of the destructive spiritual and psychological aspects of colonialism.
Hlynur Pálmason began as a visual artist before turning to filmmaking. His debut feature, “Winter Brothers” (2017) played at Locarno Film Festival, and his second film “A White, White Day” (2019) premiered at Cannes Critics' Week. “Godland” had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival program Un Certain Regard.
