Fridrik Thor Fridriksson

Overview

Fridrik Thor Fridriksson (Icelandic: Friðrik Þór Friðriksson, pronounced [ˈfrɪðrɪk ˈθouːr ˈfrɪðrɪxsɔn]; born 12 May 1954; Reykjavík) is an Icelandic film director and producer. Fridriksson started his film making career with experimental films and documentaries in the early 1980s. In 1987, he founded The Icelandic Film Corporation that became Iceland's most important film production company.
