The Museum of Prophecy was filmed in Skagästron, Northern Iceland over the course of several months. The title is the same as the town’s only museum where our narrator, Dagný Marín, has faithfully operated for the last decade. MOP explores the mythical lore of a small town as it transitions into another season of eternal night. The history of this place and its past residence still inform the lived experiences of the few inhabitants it has left and brings to light the power of collective memory through storytelling. Museum of Prophecy urges the viewer to know Skagästron as Icelanders do even if the means trusting what you cant see in front of you.
