 Scandinavian movie “Hoppet” (“Leaps + Bounds”) Germany/Norway/Sweden 29.11.2007
director: Peter Naess music: Nils Petter Molvaer
Azad comes to Sweden by mistake. In order to blend in with the family that hides him, he has to pretend that he is nine years old. Suddenly he's quite alone in a new country and doesn't understand the language. But with the help of a spaced-out hot dog vendor, the coolest guy in school and world champion Kajsa Bergqvist maybe he can meet his real family again.
> Moscow Freestyle Canada/Russia 18.4.2006, 51 min. Interfilm Productions
director: Julia Ivanova music: Nils Petter Molvaer
This is a one hour program on young Westerners teaching English in Moscow, shot during the period of the worst terrorist attacks in Russian history. Gwain and his friends live, teach, party, drink, philosophize and mingle with locals in Moscow—their lives framed by the dramatic events unfolding around them.

"Can I Touch You There"

18. November 2007
 		> we've met Håkon Kornstad in Berlin  where he played surprisingly as opener for Eivind Aarset.
You should know him as a member of Wibutee as well as a member of
Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conception of Jazz and others.
What an impressive performance: an audience recording has been reported (that we strictly condemn :-)
A visit of one of his next gigs is strongly recommended:
- December 10, 2007 Jazz Club Hannover, Germany (double bill with Theo Bleckman Solo)
- December 13, 2007 Stellwerk Hamburg, Germany
- December 14, 2007 Bunker Ulmenwall Bielefeld, Germany
- December 15, 2007 Café Teufelwald Dachau, Germany
> don't also miss to listen to Håkon Kornstad's fresh solo album "single engine":
download therefore the unreleased track "Tempelhof"
which gives you a first impression of what you can expect....
