Copenhagen Dreams (Drømme i København)
Director: Max Kestner
Genre: Documentary
This documentary film portrait of Denmark’s capital focuses on the physical surroundings that are believed to play the main part in shaping our lives. It’s about the buildings we wake up in, the front doors we walk out of, the streets we traverse. It is also a film about how the way we live our lives affects our physical surroundings. About the places we dream of and the walls onto which we scratch the names of our loved ones, before it's too late. The film features Copenhagen as the main character; the people are just bit players whose job it is to draw out the distinctive features of the protagonist.
This movie will be shown under DocLab’s film project at Geothe Institut Hanoi (56-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Ba Dinh) at 6pm on Jul. 20
