Danish documentary - SAILAU by Thor F. Jensen
2025-05-14 16:00 - 21:00 | Denmark House, L3 428 Lt Bourke St, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
Thor F. Jensen, born in Copenhagen in 1981, is a distinguished Danish adventurer,
filmmaker, illustrator, and television host whose work embodies Denmark’s rich
exploratory heritage. As a world-record-holding explorer and member of the
Adventurers Club of Denmark (Eventyrernes Klub), Thor continues the legacy of
Danish pioneers, bringing stories of adventure and cultural significance to global
audiences.
Thor’s most notable achievement is the award-winning documentary SAILAU, which
chronicles the first-ever circumnavigation of the island of New Guinea in a traditional
sailing canoe. This remarkable expedition, undertaken with Papua New Guinean
master sailors Sanakoli John, Justin John, and Job Siyae, not only set a world record
but also highlighted the importance of preserving traditional maritime knowledge.
Program:

4pm – bar and kitchen open for pre drinks and food
6pm – presentation and introduction by Thor F. Jensen
6:30pm – movie screening, no service during movie
8:pm – Q&A

The journey began on August 30, 2016, from Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, aboard
the Tawali Pasana, a traditional SAILAU (sailing canoe). Over 13 months and 21
days, the crew navigated 6,300 kilometres, facing treacherous reefs, the formidable
northwest monsoon, and encounters with crocodiles. Throughout this arduous
voyage, Thor apprenticed under the master sailors, learning traditional navigation
and sailing techniques. The expedition not only tested their physical endurance but
also fostered a profound cross-cultural bond, showcasing the spirit of teamwork and
friendship.
Beyond its storytelling, SAILAU has become a vessel connecting people globally.
The film has brought together individuals, companies and institutions from different
nations, fostering dialogue and cultural exchange.
Through these connections, the film serves as a powerful testament to the unifying power of
adventure and shared human experiences, strengthening ties between Denmark,
Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the wider world.

Water Refuge - Cold water exposure, art & literature
2025-06-14 15:00 - 17:00 | Denmark House, L3 428 Lt Bourke St, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
Inspired by Denmark’s winter bathing traditions, Wei Weng’s latest book, Water Refuge (2023), explores how bodies of water transcend geography —becoming spaces of renewal, resilience, and connection.
As the winter solstice approaches this June, join Wei Weng and renowned journalist Louisa Lim for a thought-provoking discussion on cold-water immersion, cross-cultural dialogue, and the role of literature as a bridge between cultures.
The artist will showcase a specially curated selection of Danish art and design books, along with world literature that examines water as a symbol of sanctuary, migration, and belonging.
Celebrate the Winter Solstice in true Scandinavian spirit—surrounded by books, conversation, and the warmth of hygge. Connect with fellow swimmers, artists, and literary enthusiasts for an afternoon of storytelling, seasonal tastings of Nordic food, and drinks are included in the ticket price.
