Börkur Gunnarsson is an Icelandic living and working in Prague. He studied at Prague's FAMU. Apart from making films, he has also written three books: a poetry collection, a book of short stories and a novel. He has made several shorts and television films. The independent bitter-sweet comedy Bitter Coffee, which was created on a minimal budget using partial improvisation and in which Gunnarsson also shared as a screenwriter, is his feature debut. The majority of scenes in the film were shot concurrently using three digital cameras with five versions emerging in the cutting room; the most compact of these was chosen for the final version.
