The Return of "Windjammer" Update by
August 1996

Bouwmeester and Thomas Hauerslev recreating a Lasse Kolstad moment. On board the Christian Radich in its
home port of Oslo in 1996. Image by Thomas Hauerslev
It has been a busy year following our visit to
Oslo in late 1995. Putting Cinemiracle back together is a giant jigsaw
puzzle. With the corporation of Swedish enthusiasts the whole project seems
within reach of success. What follows is a line up of facts regarding the
equipment and film.
A Stockholm enthusiast, has received the Dutch version soundtrack and two
3-strip prints of "Windjammer". The second print is only in
parts and can be used only for testing. The copyright information is a bit
unclear. Perhaps the film is in the public domain. The Friends of Christian
Radic will investigate it by Cinerama, Inc in USA. The projectors, which all
seems to be in a very good condition, are in Götenborg, Sweden, safe by
another enthusiast. Two projectors need new drive- and Selsyn motors, but
they can be obtained for free in the United States by John Harvey. The amps,
rectifiers and Bauer lamp houses are at hand. If we are lucky, a screen can
be obtained from an IMAX cinema in Germany.

Lasse
Kolstad, 1957
Friends of S/S Christian Radich still need a place to show the film in Oslo.
The Olso Kinematografer has not been very interested to show the film again
in spite of general public interest. If Colosseum is going to be used, the
whole project must unfold before April 1997. The Colosseum will close for
rebuilding.
When we are ready, a test of one of the panels will projected through one
projector and video filmed. The quality of the film will be presented to
Harald Tusberg in Olso, to determine if the project should go on. The
purpose of doing that, is to tell Harald "We are ready with film and
equipment". He will be able to judge the quality of the print and then
use his influence to convince Oslo Kinematografer or other interested
parties to go ahead with the project. In early July 1996, however, Harald
became very sick and it is uncertain if the Windjammer project will ever
materialize. Any showings will take place in the summer of 1997, at the
earliest.
After checking the print in July 1996, however, it turned out to be too
faded to charge admission. The film can only be shown at closed
performances. As a new print will cost at least 650.000 NOK, it is not very
likely that "Windjammer" will be shown publicly again in
Oslo.
