I arrived in Tromsø late monday night. I went out to see some old friends but decided to make it an early night and get some rest. Found out that I was mentioned in an article in a local newspaper "Nordlys" on saturday, about "young and promising" filmmakers from the north of Norway. That's cool. There was a four year old photo of me in the article, which was not my finest hour, but still... it's publicity. They also featured me in their regular column "My Favorite Film", where I talk about,- you guessed it- my favorite film. It's an impossible question, but I went with "Badlands". God, I love that movie...
Got all my credentials and a festival pass, which gets me into all the films I wanna see (easily the best part of being invited to the festival) and a bunch of invitations for social and professional events, where you get to spread the word about your movie, but basicly what you are doing is kissing anyone who is anyone's ass. For once I would like to be the one who gets kissed.
Saw Werner Herzog's new documentary "Encounters At The End Of The World". A bit dissapointing. When it's Herzog you always expect it to be controversial and disturbing, but it turned out it was just a movie about some slightly weird people living on the south pole. Some beautiful footage, but nothing really happened and I kept waiting for someone in the film to jump out and have a crazy fit, but it never happened, so it just came and went. The End. What?
Did an interview for another newspaper "Bladet Tromsø", alongside the band who did the music for my film, The Considerate Lovers. It will be in the paper on wednesday and if it's possible to view it online I'll post it here later.
It's good to be home. And it's good to be a part of it all.
