Iceland has a notable cinema film industry. There are many actors to list who have caught international attention. The most famous film, and the only one to be nominated for the Academy Award and European Film Awards, is Children of Nature, directed by Friðrik Þór Friðriksson. This film brought Icelandic cinema to the international scene which has since grown to its height, with films such as Noi the Albino, by Dagur Kári, seen as a descendant of the Icelandic film tradition.
The Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur also directed 101 Reykjavík, Hafið, A Little Trip to Heaven (starring Julia Stiles and Forest Whitaker), and Jar City.
The Edda Awards are the national film awards in Iceland.
