Verið velkomin á sýningu heimildarmyndarinnar HVELLUR í Bíó Paradís.
HVELLUR fjallar um einstakan atburð í sögunni. Að kvöldi 25. ágúst 1970 tóku bændur í Suður-Þingeyjarsýslu sig saman og sprengdu í loft upp stíflu í Laxá við Mývatn. Bændurnir höfðu mótmælt harðlega virkjanaáformum á svæðinu en sjónarmið þeirra voru virt að vettugi. Með sprengingunni tókst þeim að koma í veg fyrir eyðileggingu Laxár og Mývatns. 113 lýstu verkinu á hendur sér, 65 voru ákærðir. Samstaðan brást aldrei og aldrei kom fram hver sprengdi.
Þessi uppreisn markaði upphaf náttúruverndarbaráttu á Íslandi…. ✊
English
The movie HVELLUR revolves around a unique incident in Icelandic history. At night on the 25th of August in 1970, farmers in Suður-Þingeyjarsýslu came together and blew up a hydro-dam in Laxá by Mývatn in the north after an extensive protest against proposed power plant areas. The act prevented a total damage of the river Laxá and lake Mývatn, involving 113 individuals, of which 65 charged with a crime, never revealing who initially did it.
The act and rebellion marks the beginning of nature conservation in Iceland….

(TW – trigger warning due to the subject)
“In A REGULAR WOMAN, Aynur tells her own story, her perspective of what happened. It is the story of a confident young woman who loves life and knows exactly how she wants to live hers. A woman who escapes the violence of her marriage and refuses to let her brothers and parents dictate what she can and cannot do. She gets her own apartment and her son, she apprentices as an electrician and she goes out to meet new men and friends. Although she knows that her behavior goes against her family’s tradition and it can put her in danger, her desire for freedom is stronger. However, her brothers’ insults and threats get increasingly serious and before long, it is Ultimately too late.”
