Country-western favorite Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys star in the Columbia musical western Smoky Mountain Melody. Not much happens plotwise: Acuff, playing "himself," is a tenderfoot who somehow manages to come out on top when he heads westward. The villains (who aren't all that villainous) try to promote a phony stock deal, but Roy and his pals foils their plans. The comedy honors go to Guinn "Big Boy" Williams as a blowhard sheriff. Smoky Mountain Melody was scripted by Barry Shipman, the son of pioneering female filmmaker Nell Shipman.

Man of the people, taxi driver, Jean Carignan is above all else one of the world's greatest violinists. In his hands reels become complex, intelligent creations, played with a virtuosity worthy of Paganni, and which continue the traditions of a genre passed on orally. A genre which has retained its popularity, and whose giants include Skinner, Coleman, Allard. Jean Carignan tackles their repertoire, as well as reaping the harvest of his exploration of Irish and Scottish musical traditions, which has made of him an internationally renowned specialist in Celtic music. This film is also a love story between an impoverished child and his violin, and provide a unique window into a remarkable era.

An exuberant story about Askeladden, the hero of Norwegian traditional fairy tales, outwitting the good-natured troll.

This is the tale of the tin soldier with one leg who won the heart of a ballerina, but was swallowed by a fish before he found his way back to her. The film is a delightful presentation of Hans Christian Andersen's story, employing puppets and clever camerawork.

The story of a group of mice who learn the benefits of putting aside their nuts instead of frittering them away.

Ivo Caprinos animated adaption of the classical Norwegian folktale

Askeladden (Norwegian "The Ash Lad") is the main character in many Norwegian folktales.

A gnome named Gurin wakes up with a foxtail as punishment for his practical jokes.

Not until four years after The Fox's Widow was the third fairytale movie, The Seventh Master of the House, released – Caprino's personal favourite. This is a wonderful fairytale and a sharp satire on everyday bureaucracy. Caprino knew all about that – in fact, you might say that the movie was an indirect stab at the bureaucrats who had considered all his funding applications.

Cuatro adolescentes en Oslo en el momento que la Beatlemanía golpeó Noruega. Kim, Gunnar, Ola y Seb cada uno asume uno de los nombres de los Fab Four y planean iniciar su propia banda durante una época de gran agitación política. Al mismo tiempo, varios errores en sus años de formación en formas entrañables, divertidas y desgarradoras. Los chicos luchan con los libros de texto arcaicos y los maestros antiguos, intentando ser rebeldes, y, por supuesto, descubrir las niñas. Sobre la base del bestseller de Lars Saabye Christensen del mismo título, Beatles golpea todas las notas correctas con una banda sonora familiarizada (por Magne Furuholmen, tecladista de la banda de a-ha) y el recuerdo nostálgico de perder la inocencia y la importancia de la amistad.
