pSince the early 2000s, Portland has produced the most prolific and vital experimental filmmakers and video artists in the country. The city’s strong sense of community and support for the arts has made it a breeding ground for video art. There is also an abundance of screening venues, including Holocene, Machine Works, The Hollywood Theater (which also has a stage for live accompaniment), The Guild Theater, and Cinema 21; established galleries such as PICA and PDX Museum of Contemporary Art are also strong supporters of local artists./p pa href="http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2008/09/portland-or-living-video"read more/a/p

It's no secret that the entertainment industry believes that it deserves to be paid (often multiple times) every time anyone accesses, views or listens to any of its content. That's resulted in some really bad policies that limit the potential for future growth, but also some ridiculous scenarios like the one described over at TorrentFreak, concerning the Motion Picture Licensing Company, who a href="http://torrentfreak.com/hollywood-enforcers-illegally-demand-money-from-kindergartens-081005/" target="_new"illegally demanded 10 euros per child/a (later reduced to 3 euros) from Irish kindergartens, for the right to watch DVDs in class. It turns out that the whole thing was illegal, as it violated a copyright act in Ireland by not filing for a license to collect royalty revenue (it has since filed for the license). In the meantime, the folks who run these schools are a bit annoyed by the whole thing, noting that they rarely, if ever, show DVDs anyway and don't see why they should have to pay a fee per student. In fact, one educator noted that the only time they showed DVDs was when they would "pretend" to go to the cinema -- and even that would likely lead kids to eventually want to go see more movies. br /br / a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20081006/0052502461.shtml"Permalink/a | a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20081006/0052502461.shtml#comments"Comments/a | a href="http://techdirt.com/article.php?sid=20081006/0052502461op=sharethis"Email This Story/a br / br style="clear: both;"/ img alt="" style="border: 0; height:1px; width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=a27ffe388fd65bf34efba27f4a4661f4" height="1" width="1"/ img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=a27ffe388fd65bf34efba27f4a4661f4" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~f/techdirt/feed?a=eznGm"img src="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~f/techdirt/feed?i=eznGm" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~r/techdirt/feed/~4/413363415" height="1" width="1"/

Iceland has a more robust film industry than you might expect from a small island nation of only 320,000 people, but still, it ain't exactly Hollywood. So when an Icelandic film gains worldwide attention, it's newsworthy.

Such is the case with Jar City, an excellent mystery thriller that Cinematical's Kim Voynar raved about last year at Telluride. It's the highest-grossing film in the country's history, from one of its most successful (and prolific directors), and it won a top prize at the 2007 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

And now it gets the ultimate honor: an American remake! (There may have been sarcasm in the word "honor.") According to The Hollywood Reporter, Overture Films has bought the remake rights and will employ the original writer/director, Baltasar Kormákur, as a producer. No word yet on who will direct the U.S. version, but a writer has been attached: Michael Ross, who wrote Turistas and who THR says is also penning the Near Dark remake.

The Icelandic setting will be changed, of course, to its logical American counterpart: Louisiana. No, really. I'm curious to see how the story transfers, since some of its details relate to the insularity of those small Icelandic communities. Also, I loved that the detective in the original was a total badass despite looking like a nerdy college professor. (That's him in the picture.) I hope they keep that element for the remake. William H. Macy would be perfect.

As far as I can determine, this is the first time an Icelandic film has officially gotten an American remake. If anyone knows differently, let me know. Otherwise, I'm marking this as a historic first for our friends in the North Atlantic.

Charles Saatchi is the Hollywood mogul of the Brit Art world. He is the player who can make it all happen. It was he who opened the floodgates of Cool Britannia; in the 1990s his name was a brand that could turn a student into a star overnight. His 1997 show Sensation was precisely that.
