Constructive forces

Interviews with artists who deal with social and political issues, often on the fringes, conducted by Kate Yoland. This week: Hlynur Pálmason, an Icelandic filmmaker whose feature debut, 'Winter Brothers,' recently screened at the London Film Festival 2017. Palmason’s story follows Emil, played by Elliott Crosset Ove, a young man who works in a remote limestone mine with his stronger, more stable brother - depicted in a powerfully tense underground world and a bleak, washed out environment in the upper air.
