KJ-A goes to the movies

Bent Hamer's most recent movie "1001 grams" just premiered at Toronto International Film Festival. The movie is set in the delightfully quirky universe of the Norwegian Metrology Service. Kristin Jarmund designed the laboratory building for this governmental agency and when she met Bent in 2010, she introduced him to the complex building that now plays a prominent role in his movie. We look forward to see the result.
