Icelandic composer Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson writes music for documentary and fiction films and also works with well-known local bands such as MÖK and Sigur Rós. In 1991, he won a European Film Award for his music for Friðrik Þór Friðriksson’s Children of Nature, with whom he has collaborated on many other movies.
