The Icelandic Producers Association (SÍK) has elected Arnar Benjamín Kristjánsson as its new chair, following a closely contested vote. This leadership change comes amidst significant financial pressures and a dramatic decline in film production, both domestically and internationally, making it harder to finance projects that don't align with major distributors. The new leadership faces the challenge of navigating a difficult period for the Icelandic film sector.
