Scottish Filmmaker Lynne Ramsay Honored by Reykjavik’s Stockfish Fest


Lynne Ramsay was celebrated at the 10th anniversary edition of Reykjavik’s Stockfish Film & Industry Festival.

Citing honoree Ramsay’s unique artistry, Stockfish’s artistic director Hrönn Kristinsdottír praised the director-screenwriter for challenging conventions and pushing boundaries in an industry dominated by male voices. Ramsay, whose films “Ratcatcher,” “Morvern Callar” and “We Need To Talk About Kevin” are screening as part of mini-retrospective, evoked cheers and laughter from the crowd as she remarked, “Iceland is a lot like Scotland, only more magical.” Likely to shoot first is “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence, an adaptation of a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz about a woman living in isolation in rural France who loses her mind amid marriage and motherhood.
