Letters to Håkon Banken (2024)
During the 80s, Håkon Banken (1949–2018) was one of Norway’s most popular recording artists, selling upwards of half a million records and cassettes and topping the charts for weeks at a time. Today he is mainly remembered by a small group of dedicated fans, who celebrate him for his candid lyrics about his own struggles with mental health. This documentary tells the story of this unique figure in Norwegian popular music through archive material, reconstructions and interviews with some of those who he left an indelible impression on.
Directors: Sven Arild Storberget, Martin A. Walther.
