Cinema of the Faroe Islands

The cinema of the Faroe Islands does not have a long history. The Faroe Islands has a small population, and due to the high initial cost of filmmaking, the islands' cinema history is modest. (On the other hand, writing and book publishing is very popular). The first director of the Faroe Islands was Katrin Ottarsdóttir. Her first film set in the Faroe Islands was Atlantic Rhapsody in 1989. Recently self-taught Johan Rimestad directed the self-financed feature Karrybollarnir, which takes place in Tórshavn.
