Further Information


--- English description below ---

Ég heiti Alma Ómarsdóttir og er að leggja lokahönd á heimildamynd sem fjallar um íslenskar stúlkur á tímum hernámsins á Íslandi, með sérstaka áherslu á aðgerðir yfirvalda gegn þeim stúlkum sem umgengust hermenn. Mér finnst málefnið mjög mikilvægt, en í myndinni er svipt hulunni af atburðum sem eru flestum ókunnir, og sumt hefur aldrei fengið að heyrast í þau sjötíu ár sem liðin eru frá tímum hernámsins.  Mig vantar fjármagn til þess að ljúka framleiðslunni, og óska eftir ykkar stuðningi.

Ég vona að þið sjáið ykkur fært að taka þátt í þessu verkefni með mér, og ég hlakka til að deila því með ykkur. Ef upphæðin fer yfir lágmarksupphæðina þýðir það að hægt er að leggja meiri vinnu í eftirvinnsluna, þannig að allur stuðningur er vel þeginn.

Um myndina:

Myndin er heimildamynd í fullri lengd. Sögusviðið er Reykjavík á tímum hernámsins á Íslandi, í seinni heimsstyrjöldinni. Að baki myndarinnar liggja miklar rannsóknir höfundar; á gögnum Ungmennaeftirlitsins, sem var stofnað til að hafa eftirlit með íslenskum stúlkum sem umgengust hermenn; á gögnum fyrsta kvenlögregluþjónsins á Íslandi, sem var ráðin sérstaklega til að rannsaka samskipti stúlkna og kvenna við hermenn; og á gögnum Kleppjárnsreykja, en þangað voru stúlkur sendar ef talið var að þær ættu í sambandi við hermenn.

Um höfundinn:

                                   

Alma Ómarsdóttir er með Mastersgráðu í Blaða- og fréttamennsku frá Háskóla Íslands. Hún hefur undanfarið ár starfað sem fréttamaður hjá RÚV, og unnið þar fréttir jafnt fyrir sjónvarp, útvarp og vef. Árið 2013 gerði Alma heimildamyndina Maður verður að vera flottur (You Have to Look Good), sem var sýnd á kvikmyndahátíðinni Reykjavík Shorts & Docs. Myndin hlaut góðar viðtökur á hátíðinni og hefur nú verið valin til að taka þátt í Alþjóðlegri kvikmyndahátíð kvenna, WIFF (Women's International Film & Arts Festival), á Miami í vor.

Alma vinnur að fleiri heimildamyndum, en jafnframt því að vinna að lokafrágangi heimildamyndar um hernámsárin á Íslandi, er hún með mynd um sjúkdóminn HIV í smíðum, sem ber vinnutitilinn HIV á Íslandi.

--- English description ---

My name is Alma Ómarsdóttir and I am working on a documentary about the so-called “situation” in Iceland during World War II and how the Icelandic government treated the “situation girls”.The film is almost ready for screening, but I need funding for post-production.

I hope you can participate in this project with me, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

About the film:

The film is a full-length documentary and is built on extensive research by the author. The scene is Reykjavik during World War II, when the British and American army occupied the country. It covers the so-called “situation” in Iceland, which is a term that was used to define relations between Icelandic women and the occupying army. It tells of how the government reacted to the “situation” and how they treated the so called “situation girls”. I plan on issuing an English version of the film as well, for foreign distribution.

About the film-maker:

Alma Ómarsdóttir has a Masters degree in Journalism from the University of Iceland. She’s a Journalist for the National Broadcast Service in Iceland (RUV), where she writes and delivers news on the air, on television and on other outlets. Her passion is making documentaries, where she focuses mainly on social issues.

In 2013 Alma made the short documentary You Have to Look Good, which was screened on the 2013 Reykjavik Shorts & Docs Film Festival, where it received good review. The film was chosen to be screened at the Women's International Film & Arts Festival (WIFF) in Miami this spring.

Alma is currently working on other projects, such as a full-length documentary about the history of HIV in Iceland.
