Synopsis

Set in Iceland, "On Top" features a lighthouse on a cold winter evening. Her thoughts drift back to that summer, to bathing in the hot springs, and to when they first met and embraced. In Australia, "Down Under" presents the desert during a blistering heat wave. His pickup stops at an icehouse, where he lays the blocks neatly on the buckboard before driving off, haunted by an aching memory. Without dialogue or comment, except for verses from a sonnet by John Keats, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson connects the thoughts, emotions, and sensual longing of young lovers at opposite ends of the world. The film is described as a tone poem and a collage of sight and sound.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
