42 NORWEGIAN FILMS 2008<br />

In 1967, the young Fred Robsahm ventured out into the wide world in order to earn money for a<br />

sailboat. On his journey he visited Italy, where his sister lived. It's on the film set of Barbarella<br />

where Fred's film adventures took off. Fred staid on in Italy. During the next 15 years he acted in<br />

a whole lot of Western films and historical dramas. He met the woman of his life, and settled<br />

down. For a while.<br />

His purpose had always been to get enough money together for a sailboat. In one naive<br />

moment he made a wrong move. He agreed to bring a sailboat from Spain to Italy. No questions<br />

asked, only sailing, the sea and the wind. Fred brought the boat to shore in Rome, and<br />

went home to his girlfriend. That night, the police turned up and fetched him. In that moment,<br />

Fred lost his freedom, his girlfriend, his health and his future.<br />

Even Benestad (1974) studied cinematography at The Oslo Film and Television<br />

Academy. His first feature-length documentary All About My Father (2002) was<br />

screened at more than 100 film festivals, and received both national and international<br />

acclaim.
