His films have received global acknowledgement, winning awards at BAFTA and The Icelandic Film Awards. His 2006 short film Last Farm was nominated for a Best Short Film Oscar. His feature films Eleven Man Out and The Last Winter were official selections at the Toronto International Film Festival. In recent years, Magni has also shot several television projects.
