From director and executive producer Halston Bruce, Blood Memory joins the crews of two Icelandic commercial fishing boats for a visceral voyage through the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar). This immersive short documentary, bracingly scored by Timothy Cleary’s churning, rolling mass of harmonic texture, is infused with both centuries-old tradition and post-industrial technology. Here, the ocean trade that has sustained Iceland since the Middle Ages—and anchored the island nation’s commitment to environmental sustainability—briefly but patiently welcomes us aboard.
