After finishing a Master in Clinical Psychology (2014), Berglind (b. 1988, Reykjavik) left her studies and decided to apply her knowledge in creative pursuits. Her work aims to encourage complexity in seeing, both introspectively and out into the world around us.

She is currently studying Directing at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin.  Berglind’s short films have received recognition and run in film festivals around the world including, Vimeo Staff Pick, Palm Spring International Short Fest, Lund Fantastic Film Fest, Reykjavik International Film Festival, Nordisk Panorama and many more. Although film is her focus she is also a published writer, researcher, kindergarten teacher, and has a practice of performance with the performance collective Here.

Berglin Thrastardottir will be a part of the all-night Mimer performance/installation Here, a nut falls twice.
