As I have mentioned in a previous post I am currently working on a film project about storytelling on the Faroe Islands. You can read more about the project on the development blog. (In Danish).
This week we received financial support from the Faroese fund Mentanargrunnur Landsins. Earlier this year we were also supported by The Danish Film Workshop and the Faroese cultural ministry Mentamálaráðið. We are currently planing the first round of shooting, and are really looking forward to the final result.

[See post to watch Flash video]

In the beginning of March 2010 I traveled to Iceland to attend the annual Northern Wave Film Festival where my short film Connected had been selected to screen. While I was there, I spend a few days traveling around the island with my co-director Jens R. Christensen, to experience the spectacular Icelandic landscape. I shot a few quick video clips of the some of the places we visited: The Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Station, the Geysir Hot springs at Laugarfjall and the amazing Gullfoss waterfall.

The film was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II using the 24-105 L lens. Please make sure to view it in full screen for the best experience.

Paris Cookbook Fair 2010

Books exhibited at the Paris Cookbook Fair

Last weekend I attended the Paris Cookbook Fair, where two of the books I have designed were exhibited as nominees for the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. In the category Best Asian Cookbook the sushi book placed fourth. Considering that an estimated 26.000 food and wine books are published each year*, I am really happy with the result. The exhibition was a great opportunity to meet with writes, designers and publishes, and to gather inspiration for future book projects.

Visiting the Faroe Islands

This weekend I visited Norðurlandahúsið (The Nordic House) at the Faroe Islands, to help setup an exhibition by fashion designer Maria Louise Suhr. The exhibition presented her graduation project from the Design School in Kolding, a collection with swimsuits, shoes and bags inspired by the charter tourism of the 60′s.

A series of landscape photography from the islands, will be posted on the website soon.
