inside front cover Officially Selected Discovery Programme Officially Selected Discovery Programme THE LITTLE DEATH Romantic comedy about the extraordinary sex lives of ordinary people

”Making The Little Death has been one of the most exciting projects of my career. It always felt like a film that didn’t have any rules. From the very beginning I think there was this feeling from everyone in the cast and crew that we were doing something special, something truly unique. I wanted to make a comedy about something that people could connect with regardless of race, religion, language or class. Sex felt like the obvious choice. It’s the subject we’d all rather be talking about. Don’t believe me? You want to know what the most googled word in the world is? It’s “Sex”.”

However, as of yet no Danish films have yet succeeded with the sci-fi and horror genres. I wanted to prove that we are also capable in these genres, by making an entertaining and suspenseful sci-fi and horror movie.” Director Anders J. Bukh. ENCOUNTERS

he four young filmmakers know the stories, they’ve seen the movies and they joke about it as they travel into the Swedish woods to shoot yet another low-budget horror-movie. But though they make fun of horror- clichés, there’s nothing to laugh about when the group gets lost and one of the actors disappears only to return hours later, naked and in a catatonic state. As much as they try to figure out what’s going on, none of them has the faintest idea of what they’re about to experience or how to explain what’s been captured on tape.

DRONEUsing robots to fight wars are now a reality. Drone pilots are the new warriors, recruited from gaming conventions and killing through joysticks. But who are their targets? DRONE gives context and new perspectives that reveal crucial secrets of the CIA drone war and what lies ahead.

“With DRONE I want to challenge the secrecy of the CIA drone war. I am deeply concerned about how the war on terror has become a targeted killing program where people are killed with no due process or justice in an unmanned war without declared battlefields, transparency or accountability. I do not believe the CIA drone war is the best solution to fight terrorism and I do not believe the drone strikes have made us safer. On the contrary I fear that the US precedent in the use of drones have devastating consequences.” Director Tonje Hessen Schei

THE IDEALIST

“The secrecy surrounding the Cold War era has been an almost inexhaustible source of fascination for storytelling and filmmaking since it’s beginning in 1945. Secrecy plays a crucial role in our story too and actually unfolds with such an impact we would dare to state; the real frightening and disastrous weapon of the Cold War wasn’t really the A-bomb - but the lies, cover-ups and conspiracies”
