In 1987, Friedrick shot his debut feature film.
White Whales The story of two comrades who descended on the coast from a whaling ship after the end of the whale hunting season. The film received unanimous recognition of Icelandic film critics and won a special jury diploma at the festival in Locarno.
In 1989, Friedriksson made a television movie called Sky Without Borders. The film tells the story of a young Icelander who many centuries ago realized his dream of flying. In 1990, Friedrick made the film “Dear Angels”. Both films attracted attention with unusual shape and non-standard storylines.
In 1991, the film “Children of Nature” was released, which told about an old peasant and his friend who escaped from a nursing home. The tape has been shown at fifty festivals around the world and has collected many awards and nominations for awards in various categories, including the Oscars.
