A Name is a Name is a film conceived and developed by Icelander Sigurjon Einarsson. Though he now lives in Norway working with rock and roll artists, Sigurjon is a filmmaker by profession.

A cross between a documentary and a feature film, A Name is a Name is instead, a classic road film', made largely on the proverbial and literal road over a period of seven months in the Republic of Macedonia.
At its heart, the film is about a group of people who call themselves Macedonians and what it means to them to be known as such.

The story line is that of a Scandinavian man who comes to Macedonia, rents a motorcycle, and travels around the country talking to Macedonians from all classes and backgrounds. The traveler, as he is known, never speaks on camera and in fact, we never learn his name or what country he hails from (in reality, the traveler is portrayed by director Sigurjon Einarsson). Instead, his thoughts are conveyed through Sir Andrew Motion with subtitles in English for the interviews. Interspersed throughout the conversations will be Macedonia itself the stunning landscapes and scenery that make up this gentle country and ancient land. Places and points of interest monasteries and mosques, historical and archeological sites, towns, little hamlets and cities, lakes and mountains that make Macedonia what it has been and what it is today. All these will be artfully woven into the narrative.

Musical tracks donated by Macedonian and internationally known artists will be artfully woven throughout the entire production.

  • @Ammaridon You are Slavs that came to the Balkan peninsula around 1000years LATER than Greeks, Illyrians, etc and you are the oldest in Balkan nations??? lol

    Another propaganda by your government that you just believe and support even its crazy to claim something like that. But what to expect when your national anthem says ''only the sun is older than Macedonia'' again LOL

  • @Ammaridon Well its not Aleksandros...its Αλέξανδρος. Dude its simple. IF you are from Macedonia you are Greek . If you speak slav/bulgarian/albanian you are slav.Greeks are speaking the same language for 3000 years.

  • @Irukandji78

    Another mistake. They havemany connections with ancient Macedonian just like with Slavs. But Slavic tradition in Macedonia today is in oldest at Balcan nations.

  • @Irukandji78

    Wrong. Aleksandros have meaning in ancient greek: Man who have strong hands and in other meaning can be a protector but is not certain meaning. I agree that old ancient Macedonian and Greek have similarity, but these people who have lived there ( North Macedonia ) were ancient and autohton.

  • Yea a Name is a Name but this Name is NOT yours.. And a Name has a history behind it and a meaning. You CANT speak ancient Macedonian cause they were speaking Greek. Alexander = ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ . Tell me what it means to your language...You cant say . Alex = protector Andras= man. So stop eating so much propaganda and read some history. PS: Not reforged:)

  • @000thelastottoman000 Then come here and find out dude.

  • @000thelastottoman000 So your country has no gays??? Really? You are all MEN right? Maybe so but...you are not ''Macedonians'' . Macedonians did not left their area or changed their language. You are a Slav...nothing wrong with that but.... not Macedonian.
