Over the summer, we show films from the 1980s, by a director named Hrafn Gunnlaugsson. Hrafn coined the term "cod western" to describe a series of films he made mixing the classic spaghetti western story arcs with viking history.
With a spellbinding soundtrack and lots of men riding Icelandic horses off into the horizon, the Cod Western films represent a must-see part of Icelandic film history and a great way to spend your evening in Húsavík!
Check out the trailer for one of Hrafn's films here.
