Olaf de Fleur

Olafur Johannesson studied physics in Reykjavik, graduating in 1995. Since then he has shared in many film projects, including both feature and documentary films. After working for two years for the production company Megafilm, focusing primarily on TV documentaries, he founded the independent production company Poppoli Pictures. Headed by Johannesson as director and producer, the team created Jesus Is Closer to Home and a documentary which required three years' preparation, about an unusual Buddhist monk who decided to get married. Icelandic film critics regard Johannesson as one of the biggest directing talents in the country.
