Dagens tematikk er søsken, familie og døden. Per har kjøpt hus og skal derfor rydde ut av sine gamle roteskap. VI har besøk av filmskaperne Arild Østin Ommundsen og Silje Salomonsen som har laget en feelgood-film om å rydde ut av et dødsbo. Sammen med dem så snakker vi om at livet går fort, og det å gå inn i gamle roller. Det snakkes også om splittelse av arv, hvilke forelder man vil være og, er det verdt å ta vare på 5 tonn med drit? Velkommen! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TIFF 2025: I denne episoden av årets Filmprat fra Tromsø møter vi filmskaperne Arild Østin Ommundsen og Silje Salomonsen til samtale om Alt skal bort, årets åpningsfilm på TIFF.   Montages leder Filmprat, et daglig arrangement på TIFF, hvor vi fører samtaler med besøkende filmskapere og andre relevante festivalgjester. Filmprat finner sted på Tromsø bibliotek, og blir fra og med i år publisert som podkastepisoder på Filmfrelst-kanalen til Montages. Stavanger-duoen Arild Østin Ommundsen og Silje Salomonsen sin forrige langfilm, barndomsskildringen Tottori! Sommeren vi var alene, kom i 2020, og nå er de tilbake med familiedramaet Alt skal bort. Etter at faren deres dør, flytter søsknene Ellen (Salomonsen), Amund (Thomas Alf Larsen) og Carl-Olav (Torbjørn Berglund Eriksen) inn i barndomshjemmet for å pakke og klargjøre det for salg. Underveis gjenopplever de både gode og vonde barndomsminner, noe som får dem til å revurdere livsvalgene sine. I samtalen nedenfor snakker Østin Ommundsen og Salomonsen om ideen bak Alt skal bort, de første utkastene av manuset og om arbeidet med å skape en fortelling om hvordan tingene vi omgir oss med blir fylt av sjel og minner. De forteller også om dyp sorg i egne liv – blant annet fra da deres nære venn Vegar Hoel gikk bort i 2021 – og på hvilken måte disse erfaringene er vevet inn i filmen. I tillegg sneier samtalen innom både den sentrale rollen musikk spiller i Alt skal bort, viktigheten av autentiske teksturer i produksjonsdesignet, og jakten på det riktige huset for denne historien. Arild Østin Ommundsen, Silje Salomonsen og Montages-redaktør Karsten Meinich møttes til Filmprat fra TIFF-scenen på Tromsø bibliotek onsdag 15. januar, og samtalen presenteres nedenfor i sin originale form. Arrangementet er gjennomført av TIFF og Montages i samarbeid, og podkasten er produsert av Montages. God lytting!

Nordmenn reiser mykje - i dag og i vikingtida. Men kva med den mørke mellomalderen? Då vart det vel slutt? Nei, Noreg heldt fram som dominerande skipsfartsnasjon i Nord-Europa, og kristendomen førde med seg stor internasjonal kontakt, m.a. gjennom ein skriftkultur som har gjeve oss dei viktigaste kjeldene til norrøn mytologi. Den skriftkulturen er dagens tema.

En ny dag truer i spikerteltet på Reve hvor tidligere Playboard-redaktør og ganske middels speakerlegende Rune Feyling er på plass for å evaluere, analysere og meina fra hoftå om filmen Monstertorsdag fra 2004. I Monstertorsdag utspiller et kjærlighetsdrama mellom Vegar Hoel og Silje Salomonsen seg i bølgene på Jæren, hvor danske Kim Bodnia dukker opp i den klassiske Yoda-rollen i påvente av selveste monsterbølgen. Det hele krydres med flotte naturbilder og en surflingo uten sidestykke. Med i Feylings filmkritikerlaug er den avdankede journalisten Kim Jung Reve og den prisvinnende livredderen og festivalarrangøren Per Freisberg. Monstertorsdag ble laget av regissør Arild Østin Ommundsen, mannen bak blant annet Mongoland, Now it's dark og barnefilmen Tottori. Hvordan står møtet mellom Cementen og Jæren seg i 2020? Det får du muligens svaret på om du tvinger deg gjennom denne episoden av Reve Allstars. Musikk av Daniel Malo. Magiske ting kan skje! Dette er episode 18 av Ein tyske og ein høge!

I denne episoden snakker vi med regissørene Silje Salomonsen og Arild Østin Ommundsen om arbeidet med å skape kinoaktuelle «Tottori – Sommeren vi var alene», norsk barnefilm, upersonlige TV-serier og fremtidsplaner.

Veteranskuespiller Silje Salomonsen (Eventyrland, Mongoland, Now It's Dark, Hjelperytteren) debuterer som spillefilmregissør med barneeventyret Tottori - Sommeren vi var alene. Filmen er utviklet med samarbeidspartner og ektemann Arild Østin Ommundsen, og foran kameraet finner vi parets to barn. Tottori er en heltefortelling om to barn som må redde seg selv og faren, når han faller ned i et juv, og er en fantastisk eventyrfilm spilt inn på tilnærmet ikke-eksisterende budsjett, men med 20 års spillefilmerfaring i ryggsekken. I denne episoden snakker Silje om skuespill, om regi, om å lage film på stort og lite budsjett!

Episode 21. Det snakkes om hvordan ferien har gått, og hvordan man har kommet seg helskinnet gjennom. Episoden med ektefellene evalueres, og hvor flinke har man vært til å jobbe med sin egen syke i ferie-modus? Og vi har gjester! Ekteparet som står bak filmer som Eventyrland og Now It´s Dark har laget barnefilm, med mental helse som tematikk. Vi snakker om hvordan man balanserer et ekteskap der den ene har større tilbøyeligheter for å havne i angsten, og hvordan snakker man egentlig til barn om mental helse? Silje Salomonsen og Arlid Østin Ommundsen er på besøk! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Silje Salomonsen og Arild Østin Ommundsen har snart premiere på en film der døtrene Billie og Vega spiller hovedrollene. Hvordan holder man husfreden når man jobber så tett sammen, hvordan er det å lage film utenfor Oslo, hvorfor holdt de på å forlate hele filmbransjen for en år siden og hvordan ligger de an med Mongoland 2? Vi er også innom NM på ski for 14-åringer, Lars Oftedal, bryllupsdager, elendige løsninger på forelskelser og Gary - Stavangens hiphop-sjel.

Regissøren av bla. Mongoland og Now It's Dark er på besøk for å snakke om en av hans gangsterfilm-favoritter. En obskur film med gigantiske navn på rollelisten.

I år er det 500 år sidan dei første norske bøkene blei trykt. I dette føredraget får du høyre professor Åslaug Ommundsen snakke meir om Bergens eldste bokhistorie. Bergen var i mellomalderen ein by for bøker: oppbyggelege tekstar, litteratur for underhaldning, bibelske bøker og messebøker på latin. I år markerer me jubileet for dei første norske trykte bøkene, også desse på latin. Dei blei trykte i 1519 for bruk under messe og tidebøner. For kyrkja var skrift og bøker sjølve fundamentet, og bispeseta var viktige for både produksjon og distribusjon av bøker. I Bergen blei det produsert bøker for hand i meir enn 400 år før trykte bøker entra scenen. Korleis såg mellomalderhandskriftene ut, og kven var det som sat med penn i hand? Akademisk lunsj arrangeres i samarbeid med Universitetet i Bergen, Høgskulen på Vestlandet og Norges Handelshøyskole.

Regissør Arild Østin Ommundsen blir intetanende kastet ut i Christines rare skrekkfilm. Han har alltid unnskyldt seg med at han er gammel. Han er 49 år. Har vært avhengig av de små korrigeringene fra kona si for å ikke ende opp som en skrulling. Hva kan man bruke følelsen av sjalusi til? Hva betyr det når du blir rørt av deg selv? Arild utdyper sitt sterke forhold til den romantiske filmen The Notebook (2004)

Arild Østin Ommundsen i åpenhjertig samtale om å bli en bedre utgave av seg selv og om sitt forhold til følelser som sinne, redsel og sjalusi. Sakset om "Mongofar" på wikipedia: Arild Østin Ommundsen (født 5. august 1969) er utdannet ved regilinjen på Høgskolen i Stavanger. Østin Ommundsen debuterte med spillefilmen Mongoland i 2000, hvor manuset ble skrevet sammen med Gro Elin Hjelle. Han har siden regissert og skrevet manuset til Hjemsøkt (2003), Monstertorsdag (2005), Rottenetter (2009) og Eventyrland (2013). Østin Ommundsen var med på å starte den nye Stavangerbølgen som kom etter Mongoland hadde premiere, og flere av skuespillerne som var medvirkende har i ettertid hatt stor suksess. I 1999 vant Østin Ommundsen Gullstolen på Kortfilmfestivalen i Grimstad med filmen Før solen står opp (1999), og i 2013 mottok han Aamot-statuetten og Rogaland fylkeskommunes kulturpris. I 2011 regisserte Østin Ommundsen den tredje filmen, Knerten i knipe, i filmtrilogien om Lillebror og Knerten. Dette var hans debut som regissør for barnefilm. Arild Østin Ommundsen er gift med skuespillerinnen Silje Salomonsen. Paret er bosatt i Stavanger.

** Artister og andre i musikkbransjen, har tre geanger høyere sannsynlighet for å få angst og depresjon, enn resten av befolkningen. Det viser forskning fra Westminster-universitetet i London. Årets Bylarm-festival, som åpner i Oslo idag, tar opp funnene på et eget arrangement: ** Vi får besøk av Elin Aamodt, daglig leder i landets største artistorganisasjon, Gramart, og spør blant annet om funnene fra England stemmer med hvordan hun oppfatter situasjonen hos sine medlemmer ** Det er alltid store forventninger i forkant av nye spillefilmer fra den amerikanske regissøren Quentin Tarantino, og vi skal snakke om hans neste film. ** Regissør Arild Østin Ommundsen er tilbake med en ny film. Den heter "Now It's Dark", og har Silje Salomonsen i hovedrollen som nattlig vandrer i Stavanger. NRKs kritiker Birger Vestmo sier at dette er en mørk, bisarr og surrealistisk drømmefilm som griper emosjonelt og pirrer nysgjerrigheten.

Arild Ommundsen snakker om innspillingen av sin 6. spillefilm “Now It’s Dark”, en ukonvensjonell historie med en ukonvensjonell innspillingsmetode.

Hadde det ikke vært bedre å bygge nytt og la en restaurant flytte inn i den ærverdige, gamle bygningen ? Absolutt ikke, sier styreleder Henrik von Achen. Bakt inn i bygningen er 1800-tallets verdensbilde, det er ikke bare et sted for å huse gjenstander. Vi har en tradisjon, en sammenheng over tid, en kontinuitet, sier Achen, som gjerne vil at publikum skal føle at de kommer inn i en annen verden, - et vitenskapens tempel. Alt må ikke gå fort og være på internett og ha lav terskel, sier Achen, som er ekspert på middelalderens kirkekunst. I MUSEUM møter vi også botaniker Mary Losvik som viser fram de aller første magasinskapene som på 1800-tallet fungerte som utstilling for publikum hver søndag formiddag. – Folk strømmet til for å se den nye naturvitenskapen, sier Losvik. I forbindelse med restaureringen har Bergen Museum laget en helt ny utstilling med deler av det eldste materialet fra magasinene, i en ny og spennende form. Bergen Museum er en del av Universitetet i byen og Senter for middelalderstudier presenterer to nye utstillinger om Bergens mange klostre og skriftkulturen som utviklet seg der. Vi ser på stylusen, skrivepinnen, som ble funnet i magasinet til Nonneseter kloster og manuskriptsider på latin. – Det var fem klostre og syv ordener i Bergen, sier middelalderarkeolog Alt Tore Hommedal, som også forteller om den utstrakte handelsvirksomheten mange av klostrene hadde. Vi møter også Henrik von Achen,Jo Høyer og Åslaug Ommundsen.

Klemt inne mellom moderne bygninger og trafikkerte sentrumsgater ligger to små rester av det som en gang var ett av Norges flotteste klostre. I MUSEUM i dag går vi av på Nonneseter stasjon på Bybanen i Bergen med Åslaug Ommundsen fra Senter for middelalderstudier, Alf Tore Hommeland og Jo Høyer fra Universitetet i Bergen. Vi ser blant annet på Tårnfoten, som kan være Bergens eldste bygning og vi går inn i korkapellet som fortsatt står slik det sto i Nonneseters glansdager. På begynnelsen av 1300-tallet bodde og arbeidet det her 35 nonner pluss legsøstre og personer knyttet til driften av klosteranlegget, som hadde mange store eiendommer og en kirke med et 50 meter langt skip.- Dette var et stort kloster etter europeisk standard, sier Ommundsen. Døgnet var delt inn i tidebønner, syv ganger hver eneste dag og en om natten. Dagene ble fylt med sang, musikk og arbeid, sier Ommundsen, som er ekspert på middelalderens skriftfragmenter. – Vi vet ikke sikkert at det ble skrevet og kopiert bøker i dette klosteret, men det er sannsynlig, sier hun. I MUSEUM får vi også høre historien om den triste sortien til Nonneseter kloster. På 1400-tallet begynte det å gå nedover med benediktinernonnene her, og til slutt ble både nonner og eiendommer overført til andre klostre. Før reformasjonen og Vincents Lunge gjorde slutt på alt og rev klosteret. Bortsett fra tårnfoten og korkapellet, som står der som middelaldermonumenter midt i Bergens travleste strøk den dag i dag.
