'The Growth of the Soil' Film and Orchestra

A special Film and Orchestra night promoted by SEALL arts and Club Film, and presented by the Northern Periphery Programme and the Lochaber Music Partnership. ‘The Growth of the Soil’ ~ ‘Markens grøde’ (Norway - 1921) Black and White, Silent 100 mins The Growth of the Soil is the first Norwegian feature length film made, based on the Nobel Prize winning book by Knut Hamsun. This screening of the film is accompanied by a 32 piece live orchestra of musicians from Norway and Lochaber. The film concerns the tentative growth of a fragile mountain community out of the great tracts of virgin forest in the north of Norway. It was lost until two incolkpmete copies were found in 1971. Both the film and score were reconstructed in 2002 and this is a unique chance to see the original film and hear the original live music.
