Movies

Eternal Father
Director
Intimate and existential story about how a family is affected by the father's decision to defy death.
Bakken
Director
In three long, uninterrupted one-takes shot over a single summer’s day and night, the camera moves slowly through the park while the guests alternately react to the lens or try to ignore it. A gang of Pierrot clones mingle with the visitors. The film is an joint creation between students of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Danish Film School, initiated independently by the students. Using Bakken as a frame - historically, architecturally and socially - all the contributors helped develop the concept for both the film and the performative interventions in front of the camera, which are sometimes inseparable from the hedonistic and condensed semi-fictional universe that an amusement park is.
Sam & the Plant Next Door
Director
As Britain's largest nuclear power plant rises from the ground next to his home, 11-year-old Sam cannot stop worrying about what will happen to the fish. A documentary film about holding on and letting go, and growing up.
