Hermann & Helmsdal
Hermann & Helmsdal is a Faroese film podcast about what’s on screen—and how it’s made.
Hosts Hermann Eliassen and Gudmund Helmsdal review new releases and classics, and sit down with filmmakers to talk story, craft, and the realities of making films from a small island nation. Most episodes are in Faroese; we switch to English when it serves the conversation. We cover festival titles, follow local premieres, and occasionally record live.
Expect clear opinions, practical insights, and conversations that connect the Faroes to the wider film world.

Hermann & Helmsdal meet Daniel Bandeira - Full Episode
This is the full episode of our chat with Brazilian director Daniel Bandeira, who visited the Faroes as part of the Pop-up Film Recidency back in November 2023.
Off course, Hermann & Helmsdal couldn’t pass on the opportunity to have Daniel come join us on our podcast. In addition to talking to Daniel about his new film Property – which was screened in Havnar Bio by Filmsfelagið – we also touch upon what drives Daniel as a filmmaker. Is he a political filmmaker? Is he a social commentator? And, off course, we also delve into what films we love, what inspires us and what it was like for Daniel to grow up in Brazil as a young film lover.
