Watch films during Jazzfest 2025! From May 1st to 8th, a selection of jazz-related films will be screened at Cinemateket in Trondheim.

In "Mystery Man", the audience tags along on a unique and unpredictable journey through the life of the legendary musician and the artist of life Paolo Vinaccia. He was not just a great musician, he was a mysterious soul, a creative power and a riot against conventions.

It is a movie about feelings and passion for the art and life - and about fighting death.

It is the story about a man who refused to let himself be defined by others expectations. About an unconventional thinker and a magnetic and powerful figure that had a passion for music, art, fishing, gourmet food, and the perfect cup of coffee. "There are two places in the world you'll get good coffee. The first is in Milan, the other is at my house."

Who was Paolo Vinaccia? He was a riddle to most, but his music has reached out to so many people, both in Norway and out in the world. He has made deep and lasting footprints.

"Mystery Man" is a story about one real, mystic and non-compromising human which life and music will keep inspiring and touching a lot of people in many years to come.

The movie is shown as a collaboration between Cinemateket, Jazzfest Kosmorama International Film Festival.
