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.
