TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ALREADYMADE ; Barbara Visser \/ Netherlands \/ 2023 \/ International Premiere \/ 86 min ; + Event: Guided tour at SMK: Shadow Women and Readymades ; 12:00 – 13:40, STATENS MUSEUM FOR KUNST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is that supposed to be art? Marcel Duchamp’s urinal became the most influential artwork of the 20th century, but the story of the iconic piece unravels itself in an intelligent and witty film that dares to ask: Did a woman actually come up with the idea?
\nAfter the screening, you can join a free guided tour of SMK’s collection. Join us as the museum’s art educator searches for readymades in the art collection and unfolds the story of the artist Poul Gernes and his close collaboration with his wife Aase Seidler Gernes – an artist who is often forgotten in the light of her husband.<\/p>\n

LIFE AND OTHER PROBLEMS ; Max Kestner \/ Denmark, Sweden & United Kingdom \/ 2024 \/ World Premiere \/ 99 min ; 14:45 – 16:25, EMPIRE BIO I 21:30 – 23:10, GRAND TEATRET<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you missed out on CPH:DOX\u2019s opening film, you can still catch it today! When Marius the giraffe was euthanised by the Copenhagen Zoo 10 years ago, the news went viral from Hollywood to Chechnya. But it was also the first domino to fall in the sprawling forest of existential questions Max Kestner asks himself (and us) in his new and wonderfully adventurous film. What is life? Does consciousness exist? Where does love come from? And last but not least: How does it all fit together \u2013 like, really? With curiosity and an open mind, Kestner embarks on a philosophical journey around the world to find answers to his questions.<\/p>\n

EFTERKLANG: THE MAKEDONIUM BAND ; Andreas Johnsen \/ Denmark & North Macedonia \/ 2024 \/ World Premiere \/ 81 min ; + Live Event: Efterklang: The Makedonium Band (film + concert) ; 15:00 – 16:25 I 19:30 – 20:55, DR KONCERTHUSET<\/strong><\/p>\n

A charming tour of Macedonian folk music and a fascinating insight into the creative process of the Danish band Efterklang. 20 years into their musical life, Efterklang have an idea: They want to go to North Macedonia and spend a week putting together a band of local musicians to perform in front of the architecturally insane Makedonium monument that celebrates the country\u2019s freedom and independence. That\u2019s all the three musicians have planned when they land in the capital Skopje and start handing out flyers to recruit members for their new band. Led by their hyper-energetic friend and guide, Grga, they are dragged out of the capital, into the countryside, up into the mountains and all the way to the political top in their search for allies and the country\u2019s distinctive folk music culture. The event requires purchasing a ticket.<\/p>\n

PREEMPTIVE LISTENING ; Aura Satz \/ United Kingdom & Finland \/ 2024 \/ World Premiere \/ 89 min ; 15:00 – 16:30, KUNSTHAL CHARLOTTENBORG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catch the NEW:VISION award-winner today! A seemingly simple and familiar object becomes the subject of a sprawling but well-orchestrated reflection on living in a time of crisis and overlapping disasters. The object is the sirens you never notice until they suddenly go off, signaling an emergency. Sirens are civilisation\u2019s formal indicator of an acute loss of control. Artist Aura Satz\u2019s current research into sirens finds its definitive form in this simultaneously concrete and abstract meditation on crises, disasters and the (aural) signs they inscribe in the world. The work\u2019s soundtrack is produced in collaboration with over 20 musicians, all rethinking the siren. At a time when modern thinking and science are unable to provide adequate solutions to ongoing and escalating emergencies, the siren is seen as a prism of possibility for the emergence of new ways of perceiving and responding.<\/p>\n

A POEM FOR LITTLE PEOPLE ; Ivan Sautkin \/ Ukraine, Lithuania & United Kingdom \/ 2023 \/ International Premiere \/ 83 min ; 17:00 – 18:25, KUNSTHAL CHARLOTTENBORG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rebellion can take many forms. And all resistance is resistance. The conclusion is clear in \u2018A Poem for Little People\u2019, which is told in two parallel tracks. In one, we follow on the heels of the young, stoic Anton. He leads a team of volunteers travelling around the eastern Ukrainian frontline, trying to evacuate the vulnerable but reluctant residents who have yet to leave the war-torn wasteland. The second track visits two elderly women who have stayed behind on the frontline to practice their own quiet resistance. The pragmatic Zinaida stands by her window and writes on a pad every time a Russian military vehicle rolls by, before sending the information to the Ukrainian military. Meanwhile, dreamy Taisia writes manipulative poems to Russian soldiers as her contribution to the rebellion. The interplay between the two tracks works brilliantly, and together they evolve into a film poem about the need for hope, memory and culture in the midst of a humanitarian state of emergency. A vivid reminder that small acts can often accomplish great things.<\/p>\n

FRIDA ; Carla Guti\u00e9rrez \/ United States & Mexico \/ 2024 \/ International Premiere \/ 88 min ; + Q&A: Meet director Carla Guti\u00e9rrez ; 19:00 – 21:00, DAGMAR TEATRET<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the 20th century\u2019s most visionary artists finally gets the film she deserves, and it is based on her own richly illustrated diary. Frida Kahlo used her own charismatic face in many of her symbol-saturated paintings, but the extent to which her life\u2019s work actually tells a full story is overwhelming when we hear it from herself. Kahlo opened the door to her inner life through her art and was in close contact with the dark imaginary of Mexican culture. But she was also deeply engaged in the topics of her time. She was politically active in Mexico and internationally, but with her fame came a growing interest from the likes of Surrealism\u2019s chief ideologue Andr\u00e9 Breton, who had their own plans for how Kahlo could fit into their own project. Carla Guti\u00e9rrez is known as an exceptionally skilled editor, and in her first film as director, she brings together years of experience in the art of telling stories with images.<\/p>\n

ABBA: AGAINST THE ODDS ; James Rogan \/ United Kingdom \/ 2024 \/ World Premiere \/ 94 min ; + Event: Saturday Kolme: Private Idaho ; 19:00 – 21:05, BREMEN TEATER<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year marks the 50th anniversary of ABBA\u2019s iconic Eurovision victory, a milestone that calls for a celebratory cinematic tribute fitting for the ultimate pop band. \u2018ABBA: Against the Odds\u2019 unveils the epic journey of ABBA\u2019s rise to global fame. Starting with the moment they won Eurovision, it tells the story of how they overcame critical backlash, societal attitudes and marital break-up to deliver their ground-breaking music and prove themselves as a live act. Meet director James Rogan in conversation with legendary tv and radio host J\u00f8rgen De Mylius after the film. We continue the party at the neighboring bar right next door, Kolme, when Sofie Jacobi and DJ Gul meet to celebrate the colorful universe of new wave together – with a twist of disco! Look forward to a unique evening with new wave’s cool and quirky music in focus. There will be DJs behind the deck until 02:00.<\/p>\n

REALM OF SATAN ; Scott Cummings \/ United States \/ 2024 \/ International Premiere \/ 80 min ; + Intro: Meet Priest of the Church of Satan + Death Metal Royalty, Dave Ingram ; 21:30 – 23:00, EMPIRE BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

In sunny California, a subculture that prefers the darkness has existed since 1966: the worldwide organisation Church of Satan. Half a century after the occult breakthrough, \u2018Realm of Satan\u2019 opens the door and depicts the everyday life of a Satanist and provides us with a rare, anthropological look into a closed world of occult rituals and black magic, staged in a stylish vistas (and with appropriate black humour) in the very homes of the believers. From everyday chores like hanging bed linen to dry in the garden to a latex sex orgy and the breast-feeding of a baby goat. However, not everyone in the neighbourhood is equally enthusiastic.<\/p>\n
