The experimental road movie made by Henk Hofstede and Seppo Pietikäinen in 1992 can finally be seen internationally. The movie was first aired by Finnish TV network YLE TV1 in 1992.

Dutchman Henk is the leader of The Nits and The Avalanche Quartet, and Finnish Seppo Pietikäinen is a journalist and a multi-tasking person in culture.

The film tells about their journey from a remote village in Finland to Leonard's house in Hydra.

Henk and Seppo were also involved in the 2002 Hydra LC Event, and at the Amsterdam Event in 2016 the Avalanche Quartet became a huge hit with their Cohen songs.

Thanks for the info. I've watched the film, still trying to decide what I think of it...

Love it! Does anyone knows if the photos shown of Leonard were taken by the dutch photographer Wubbo de Jong?

All good things,

I have got in touch with Henk and he kindly informed me the photos belong to Dominique Issermann.
