The Demise of ETA
Director of Photography
The chronicle of the process, ten long years, that led to the end of ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna), a Basque terrorist gang that perpetrated robberies, kidnappings and murders in Spain and the French Basque Country for more than fifty years. Almost 1,000 people died, but others are still alive to tell the story of how the nightmare finally ended.

The Shellhouse Raid
Camera Operator
On 21. March 1945, a mysterious accident transforms one of the Second World Wars most complex air strikes into a disaster when British bombers attack Shell House, the Gestapos Head Quarters in Copenhagen. The intension was to destroy the Gestapos archives which contained extensive information, enough for the Nazis to crush the Danish Resistance Movement. But by mistake, some of the British aircraft bomb a school in Frederiksberg where 86 children are killed; in total the attack costs the lives of nearly 200 people, the greatest loss of life on a day during the occupation. With the help from the Leading Navigator on the attack, Edward Sismore DSO, DFC, AFC, experts, eye witnesses and survivors, this documentary tries to recreate the event and determine what went wrong.

Camera Operator
Num mundo alternativo de marionetes, todas estão ligadas a um poder maior pelos fios que as puxam. Quando um rei culpado se suicida, seu iludido filho se disfarça e parte numa missão de vingança, descobrindo os segredos obscuros do seu próprio povo.
As Cinco Obstruções
Director of Photography
Em 1967, Jorgen Leth realizou um curta-metragem de 12 minutos chamado The Perfect Human. Fã incondicional desse curta, Lars Von Trier desafiou o veterano diretor a produzir cinco remakes desse mesmo filme. Sempre no comando da situação, Von Trier coloca todo tipo de obstáculo, com o intento deliberado de tornar as coisas difíceis, e num dos episódios ele manda o sexagenário Leth até Cuba, para filmar em condições muito adversas. Em outro momento, ele ordena que um dos remakes seja feito em desenho animado. Exercício de estilo e poder, o documentário tenta desvendar as concessões e as limitações que os realizadores enfrentam para viabilizarem suas produções.
The Birthday Trip
Director of Photography
When the hot-dog vendor Kaj from the small town of Skælskør in Denmark turns 40, his friends take him on a trip to Poland, to a long party with cheap liquor and emigration eager polish ladies. It will go merrily, but it gets serious for Kaj as he meets a girl who mistakes him for a wealthy Toyota dealer she has exchanged letters with.
Perfect World
Cinematography
Tom Elling, cinematographer for Lars von Trier's The Element Of Crime (and his earlier student works, Nocturne, The Last Detail and Befrielsesbilleder) made his debut as a feature-film director with Perfect World, a collaboration with poet Peter Laugesen. Described by Elling as a "visual poem", and by Laugesen as "a collage of dreams - of bubbles or planets in the ocean or universe", the film is very much in the same visually expressive style of The Element Of Crime (indeed, the extent of Elling's contribution to the look of Trier's early works is self-evident). One of the most intoxicatingly beautiful films I've ever seen - the luminous monochromatic cinematography, hallucinatory lighting and liquid editing make this a truly astonishing experience unlike anything else.
The Boy Who Disappeared
Lighting Technician
Fed up with his quarreling middle class parents, thirteen-year-old Jonas runs away from home. He seeks his freedom in the woods, where he befriends a girl his own age and a drunken ex-pilot, who offers him some warmth and understanding.
