Oskar Jonasson's feature film REYKJAVIK-ROTTERDAM won five Eddas on Sunday evening for best direction, best screenplay, best editing, best sound, and best music.

The Edda Awards are the Icelandic television and film awards, also known as 'the Nordic Oscars'.

The thriller REYKJAVIK-ROTTERDAM is a co-production between Rotterdam Films, owned by Dick Rijneke and Mildred van Leeuwaarden, and the Icelandic production company Blueeyes Productions, owned by Baltasar Kormakur and Agnes Johansen.

Dutch actor Victor Löw plays the role of Hoogland, a dealer in suspicious goods, in the film. The lead role is played by Baltasar Kormakur (1966), who is also the director of the Icelandic 2008 Oscar submission WHITE NIGHT WEDDING.

REYKJAVIK-ROTTERDAM is already playing with great success in Icelandic cinemas and received rave reviews in the press.

The film will be released in Dutch cinemas in the spring of 2009.
