Apparently, every Icelander who isn’t a musician is a filmmaker or actor, judging by this mini-festival of Icelandic films. Iceland’s filmmaking culture is still young (this year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the “spring of Icelandic filmmaking”), and its younger filmmakers are less interested in traditional storytelling, and more interested in work that reflects their increasingly urban and decreasingly isolated world. Oak Street presents several short works, as well as Dark Horse, Dagur Kari Petursson’s film about a slacker graffiti artist who tries to transform himself into a responsible adult when he falls in love. 612-331-3134; www.mnfilmarts.org/oakstreet
