Elfar Aðalsteins’ Summerlight And Then Comes The Night in the works - Production / Funding - Iceland
The Icelandic director’s sophomore feature is based on Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s successful novel of the same name. Icelandic filmmaker Elfar Aðalsteins is now preparing his second feature, a drama entitled Summerlight And Then Comes The Night. His directorial debut, the Icelandic-Irish-American co-production End of Sentence, starred John Hawkes, Logan Lerman and Sarah Bolger in the lead roles and was screened at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival. The film revolved around a widowed man called Frank (played by Hawkes), who reluctantly embarks on a journey to honour his wife’s last wish of spreading her ashes in a remote lake in her native Ireland. The story of this new project, penned in its entirety by the director himself, is based on Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s 2005 novel of the same name. The enigmatic plot goes like this: the Village is brimming with stories and if you listen carefully, it might just tell you.
