The Vikings of Bjornstad

Norwegian Public Television: Filmbonanza
Tilden Park, Berkeley, California
September 2013

The Filmbonanza web site
The Vikings of Bjornstad's web site includes one of the most popular Viking movie pages on the Internet.  It lists - and comments on - over a hundred Viking movies.  We were contacted in September, 2013, by the producers of Filmbonanza, a program on Norwegian Public Television, asking to videotape our recommendations for Viking movies. Here are the resulting video and a few photos of the session in Tilden Park in the hills above Berkeley.  Photos by Susan Garrett, Ed Berland and Colin Adams.  Video (and the source for the screen captures) by Dan Adlerstein.

Now what was it I wanted to say about that movie?

Tilden provides nice scenery - and a little vehicle noise...

How was that?
