Trommeslager og komponist Rino Sivathas har i de seneste år gjort sig bemærket på den norske jazzscene med en fremadskuende og visionær stil. Parallelt med sin deltagelse i flere forskellige projekter har hans egne idéer og kompositioner fået lov til at simre over tid og er nu blevet til et energisk og uforudsigeligt soloprojekt. Her blandes jazz, hiphop og elektronisk musik i et lydbillede præget af beats, synthesizere og flydende improvisation. Det er groovy, supertight og skramlende på én gang – et friskt og åbent landskab, hvor lytterne inviteres med ind i varmen.

Gør dig klar til en aften fyldt med energi og rytme, når Nova Concerts Series præsenterer Akokán – Rødderne i Afro-Cubansk Jazz.

Dette cubanske ensemble forener en levende række af internationalt anerkendte musikere, som hver især bidrager med deres egen stemme til den afro-cubanske jazztradition. Ensemblet består af den cubanske percussionist Bárbaro “Machito” Crespo, den dynamiske Eliel Lazo, bassisten Yasser Pino, sanger og percussionist Mayke Castellanos samt den polske pianist Artur Tuźnik.

12.00 = MOVIE LOPPEMARKED BY ANDERS CURIOUS (in cinema café)

Goodnight Mommy (2014) is a psychological horror film from Austria, directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala. 

The story follows twin brothers, Elias and Lukas, who live in an isolated countryside home with their mother. After returning from facial surgery, their mother’s face is covered in bandages, and she begins exhibiting cold and erratic behavior. 

13.00 = "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", directed by Robert Fuest, 1971, 94 minutes.
Art Deco gothique that is loaded with gorgeous cinematography, succulent camera movement, sadistic methods of torture and a devious sense of humor. There’s so much to love here — Phibes is a beautiful, stylish triumph of the macabre and a beloved cult classic.

We've decided to improve this festival by making it last an entire week. So instead of the participants only having 48 hours to make a movie, we instead are giving them an entire week!

The rest of the rules are, as they've been in the past. 

But let's make it clear for everyone: Your team draws a blockbuster-film to remake on the starting day the 4th of april - you then get a week to produce the film as creatively as you want. 

“BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS” 

Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is an outrageously entertaining cult classic, and probably one of the most bizarre movies ever produced by a major Hollywood studio.

 From its pop-rock infused soundtrack to its lurid gallery of over-the-top characters drenched in decadence, it’s the original sex-drugs-and-Rock&Roll fantasy. 

Anyone who comes dressed as a character from the film wins a special prize.

19.00 = CINEMA CAFÉ OPENS
20.00 = Film start

The film is inspired by true events and delves into the life of Ema Černá, a young girl navigating the challenges of growing up in institutional care during the late 20th century in Czechoslovakia. 

The director aims to present a stylized and unconventional narrative that captures the essence of Ema's experiences. By focusing on her internal world and the creation of an imaginary friend, the film explores themes of self-reliance and the power of hope amidst adversity. 

Som så mange gange før byder Paradise Jazz, Niels Jørgen Steen og Monday Night Big Band på fantastisk svingende jazz. 

MNBB’s repertoire er fortrinsvis kompositioner fraswing- og bebopæraen (Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Count Basie m.fl.), arrangeret af kapelmester Steen og tilført hans suveræne greb om bigband traditionen.

Publikum garanteres big band jazz som vore forældre og bedsteforældre værdsatte, ført ind i 2025 af evigt unge Steen og hans velspillende big band musikere. 

Line Up: 

Gaardmand/Besiakov Quartet samler fire af Danmarks mest rutinerede jazzmusikere til en koncert, hvor hardbop, funk og klassisk jazz smelter sammen i et eksplosivt musikalsk udtryk.
