THE NEWEST VOLCANIC ERUPTION: BARDARBUNGA - HOLUHRAUN
January 2016
Again there is unrest in the Bardarbunga Central Volcano system. The last eruption was from 31 August 2014 - 27 February 2015. The Cinema is the only place where a short film from this eruption is shown daily. Also our film maker, Valdimar Leifsson, is ready to go filming as soon as the next eruption starts - as he has done at every eruption in Iceland the last decades.
Our team also filmed Eric Cheng when he was on an expedition filming the eruption with the aid of a drone, which actually flew into the crater where the GoPro camera melted! This shot can also be seen in our film ...

The editing stage is starting and a four episode TV program will be produced, also short films for the visitors centers of the Vatnajökull National Park. Hopefully also an hour long film - which will be shown at The Cinema.
