Tromsø, Norway – day 2

Here’s a report on day 2 (and a little of day 3…):

I accompanied a program of comedy shorts for kids (including The Sea Nymphs with Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, a real rarity), a program of polar expedition films, saw Madame de Thebes (1915) dir by Mauritz Stiller and accompanied by Matti Bye, and saw A Trip to Mars/Himmelskibet (1918) accompanied by Gaute Barlindhaug. Great stuff!

At left, Jan Anders Diesen and Morten Skallerud, who presented the program of polar films of Roald Amundsen’s expeditions to the South and North Poles.
