The Glahn's Death portion was filmed in Thailand, standing in for the India location in the novel (the 1922 film version had placed this material in Algeria). Carlsen said that he had decided to incorporate the "forgotten" material from "Glahn's Death" in order to find a "new angle" for filming the book. The film was produced primarily with Norwegian resources, and classified as a Norwegian film Carlsen later expressed his dissatisfaction with the film's promotion by the Norwegian Film Institute, saying that the Institute had preferred to promote films with Norwegian directors. Thirty years later he returned to Hamsun to make Pan, a book he called "one big poem". In 1966 Carlsen had directed an acclaimed version of Hamsun's Hunger. It is the fourth and most recent film adaptation of the novel-the novel was previously adapted into motion pictures in 1922, 1937, and 1962. It is based on Knut Hamsun's 1894 novel of the same name, and also incorporates the short story "Paper on Glahn's Death", which Hamsun had written and published earlier, but which was later appended to editions of the novel. Pan (also released under the title Two Green Feathers) is a 1995 Danish/Norwegian/German film directed by the Danish director Henning Carlsen.
