5 years ago we started a documentary project, which we finished earlier this year. Tonight “Bak gamle dører — Odvar Nordli forteller” will be screened on national Television (NRK2, 20:10; re-run on saturday on NRK1). Long period, and we have learned a lot.

52 minutes, shot in 16:9, mostly on a DSR-570. Edited by Tali Weiss on Final Cut Pro. Camera, graphics and soundmix by me.

For the occasion I also made a poster. 11mb.

This autumn has been amazingly busy, with 3 big productions drawing to an end. One of the fruits of our hard work was that last week we had the premiere of our second documentary in the Norwegian Film Institute in Olso. The same day “Z for Zaitzow” went on sale, yours for only 159 kroners.

Produced on 16:9 DVcam, I was amazed at the quality of the projection on a HD projector. Skin tones looked slightly weird, but other than that there was an impressive amount of detail dreived from the SD picture.

We got some very good comments on the film, and the “grand old daddy” of Norwegian film critics wrote a very favourable comment about the documentary, stating that it was “better than many [drama] films”.

Directed and written by Kaare Stang, edited by Tali Weiss, filmed by yours truly. English subtitled and NTSC version available for international buyers.
