For several decades, Katrin Ottarsdóttir -- a pioneer in Faroese filmmaking and poet -- has been making work across disciplines, committed to breaking this silence in defiance of the secretive culture in the Faroe Islands that demands it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ottarsdóttir's groundbreaking, award-winning 1999 film, \u003cem\u003eBye, Bye, Bluebird\u003c\/em\u003e was the first feature film made in the Faroese language; to date she has made several documentaries, shorts etc., as well as two more award-winning feature films: \u003cem\u003eAtlantic Rhapsody \u003c\/em\u003e(1989), and \u003cem\u003eLudo \u003c\/em\u003e(2014). Ottarsdóttir has since gone on to write two books of poetry. The first, now forthcoming from the Operating System in a rare dual-language translation including the Faroese, is \u003cem\u003eAre there Copper Pipes in Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e, an autobiographical account of her abusive mother's drug use and eventual suicide. This book was the first Faroese collection of confessional poetry and was highly controversial in a society that does not make public such personal topics, yet despite this it was awarded the Faroese Litterature Award in 2013. (Her film, \u003cem\u003eLudo\u003c\/em\u003e, explores the same material.) In 2015 Ottarsdóttir published the poetry collection \u003cem\u003eMass For A Film\u003c\/em\u003e, and in 2016 a collection of short stories, \u003cem\u003eAfter Before.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344355811635,"sku":"9781946031594","price":26.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/s8Hjz3XrWy9781946031594.webp?v=1778725163","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/are-there-copper-pipes-in-heaven-eru-koparror-i-himmiriki-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
