For several decades, Katrin Ottarsd ttir -- 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 Ottarsd ttir'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). Ottarsd ttir 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 Ottarsd ttir 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Operating System Glossarium: Unsilenced Texts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946031594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Katrin Ottarsdottir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37894468272309,"sku":"9781946031594","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6dd48c34-0bc9-4d7c-85f0-ab2962bdec40.jpg?v=1607701692","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/are-there-copper-pipes-in-heaven-eru-koparrr-himmirki-9781946031594","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
