Geytin
Geytin is an annual Faroese film festival in the Nordic House in Tórshavn where two Geytin film prizes are handed. The festival was established in 2012.[1] The prizes are given to a Faroese film instructor for a short film, which is no longer than 30 minutes.[2]
The name of the Geytin-award
The main prize is named after Herálvur Geyti, who was better known as Geytin. Geytin travelled around the Faroe Islands in 1960s and 1970s, before cinemas or TV were common in the islands.
The two film awards
There are two prizes, both are handed in December. The main prize, Geytin, is 25 000 DKK from the Nordic House and a statuette, depicting the original person Geytin, the statuette is designed by Astrid Andreassen and Dávur Geyti. The other prize is 10 000 DKK and is given by Tórshavn City Council it is an audience award, where the audience decides the which film is winning. The first time the prizes were handed was on 11 December 2012 at a film festival called Geytin, in the Nordic House in Tórshavn where all the nominated films were shown.[3] Sakaris Stórá from Skopun won the first Geytin film prize for the short movie for Summarnátt (Summer Night), and Annika á Lofti won the Audience Award (Faroese: Áskoðaravirðislønin) for the film Mist.[4]
