Henrik Hansen Documentary

I haven’t checked the whole concert but Sultans from Barcelona 2015 is cringeworthy, maybe the worst final solo Mark has ever played. Maybe the rest of the gig was good though.

It's not as bad as Sevilla, though.

You’re right, Sevilla is worse. Looks like Mark can’t get Sultans right in Spain 

Not in Spain but in the world. Any Sultans he plays is a mess in one part or the other.

You know my opinion but that's because he's obliged to play it. And also because the musicians tend to sleep while performing that song.

In my opinion the problem with Sultans is that when improvising Mark plays very slow and melodic licks and then suddenly he moves on to those classic fast licks. It feels disconnected, there’s no sense of continuity. Anyway, I don’t want to deviate from the topic, sorry.

That short film of Hansen was done extremely well with lot of good images and cuts and sound and all but was really just a Trailer clip. To call it a short Film was pretty bold from my point of view.

Was Hansen at the O2 show? I'm asking because there were several house cameras recording that concert including one on Mark's Strat's headstock. If those can be used and combined with Hansen's that would start to get my attention.

No, he wasn't. All the cameras there were from the O2 to show the concert in their screens.

This makes me wonder why they do not use screens from the venue at all concerts? It was not the case in Sportpaleis Antwerp and they also have their own cameras and screens...

On Henrik's website there is a new category: http://henrikhansen.net/feature-films

with "Mark Knopfler - untitled feature documentary", the pic is from the Tracker short film, but the Tracker short film itself is listed and available under the category "shorts". So maybe this could be a hint for things to come.
Maybe they used the "old pic" not to give away new material?

Feature?

That word with the others gives any clue about it?

The word "feature" usually means full-length as opposed to a short, in reference to films.  Perhaps a documentary inter-spliced with concert footage lasting around an hour and a half?

Thank you DMG! I usually get lost with some English expressions.

Guy today about the documentary: To be honest, I have no idea what the plans are for the doc.

Thank you DMG! I usually get lost with some English expressions.

It's an old expression from the "old days" when you would go to the cinema and they would show a short b-movie before the main feature.  Therefore the main film was called the feature film.

Guy today when i asked him if the documentary will also be released this year:

I don't know, see Mark's site for info on that. I guess it will be.

 

Somehow i have bad feeling about this......

Yes.  It isn't listed as being a part of the box set.  Either it's being sold separately or it's been shelved.
