The Last Farm was nominated for a 2005 Academy Award live action film short - The first Academy Award nominations for Runar Runarsson and Thor S. Sigurjonsson. An elderly man keeps a secret from the outside world as he reacts to the possibility that he will no longer be able to remain on his isolated farm.

Noi Albinoi: Is he the village Idiot or a genius in disguise? 17 year old Noi drifts through life on a remote fjord in the north of Iceland. In winter, the fjord is cut off from the outside world and only a natural disaster will shatter Noi's universe and offer him a window into a better world.
