Pálmason has said he is more interested in "the narrative style and flow of films" than the actual plotline. His debut feature film Winter Brothers (Vinterbrødre), which was filmed in Denmark, debuted at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland in 2017. It went on to win the Bodil Award for Best Danish Film and the Robert Award for Best Danish Film, with Pálmason also winning the Robert Award for Best Director. His second feature film, A White, White Day (Hvítur, Hvítur Dagur), was filmed in Iceland, and many of the people he had worked with on Winter Brothers were also employed for this film, including the actor German cinematographer Maria von Hausswolff [de], editor Julius Krebs Damsbo, and sound designer Lars Halvorsen. He had previously collaborated with Icelandic actor Ingvar Sigurðsson on the short film he made for graduation, The Painter, in 2013. A White White Day was selected to screen in the Critics' Week section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, and was selected as Iceland's submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020. He followed up in 2022 with Godland (Vanskabte Land), which premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and was selected as Denmark's 2022 submission for the Nordic Council Film Prize. The film, its director, and several actors were nominated for many awards and won a number of them, including Gold Hugo for Best Feature Film at the Chicago Film Festival and Best Feature Film at the Riga International Film Festival in Latvia.
