Aftersun is the feature film debut of director and writer Charlotte Wells. Calling it "emotionally autobiographical", she sought to delve into "a different period" in a relationship between a young parent and a daughter than what she explored in her 2015 debut short film, Tuesday. Frankie Corio was one of over 800 applicants before being cast. Filming took place in Turkey.
Godland (Icelandic: Volaða land, Danish: Vanskabte Land) is an internationally coproduced drama film, directed by Hlynur Pálmason and released in 2022. Set in the late 19th century, the film stars Elliott Crosset Hove as Lucas, a Lutheran priest from Denmark who is sent to Iceland to oversee the establishment of a new parish church, only to have his faith tested and challenged by the harsh conditions of life in rural Iceland, including his inability as a monolingual Danish-language speaker to communicate with his assigned Icelandic guide Ragnar (Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson).
The film was inspired in part by a collection of wet plate photographs of rural Iceland taken by a priest in the late 1800s.
