Ágúst Guðmundsson

Ágúst Guðmundsson was born on 29 June 1947 in Reykjavík. He studied Icelandic and French at the university of his city, and drama, then film at the National Film School in London. Back home just as the state set up a film support fund, he made four feature films between 1980 and 1984; Iceland would choose him four times to represent it at the Oscars, and the Moscow festival awarded him a Silver St George. He headed the federation of Icelandic artists from 2006 to 2010, and in 2025 Parliament granted him the artists' honorary pension.
