GELTU! - award winning short film

Geltu! is an Icelandic short film that was nominated to the Icelandic Film Awards 2025, The Edda, as best youth film of 2024. It is a collaboration with Ofbeldisforvarnaskólinn (The Violence Prevention School) as part of an international project, funded by the European Union, to fight violence against trans youth.

“After receiving a hateful Snapchat message from her peers, trans teen Blær is forced to confront her bullies at school and navigate the fear that fuels their violence. Seeking comfort in her close-knit group of friends—each carrying their own scars from prejudice and aggression—she finds strength in their shared resilience. A day at the Pride parade becomes a turning point, filling her with newfound confidence. But when Blær unexpectedly witnesses her tormentor becoming a victim of his own gang, she faces a choice that will test the limits of her courage and compassion.”
