LLesbianGayBiTransQueer+anGa nsQ r++ FiFilm FestiFestivalestival 35th ANNIVERSARY THEME Mixomino I anledning af vores 35-års jubilæum er vores visuelle tema hexominoes. De er geometriske figurer, der består af 6 firkanter, som kan arrangeres på 35 måder. Nok kan man stable alle 35 sammen til en firkant, men der er altid en lille stump tilovers, der sært stikker ud. Gennem hele det printede program bliver hexominoes mixet med scanninger af 35mm film for at skabe en levende scene.

In celebration of MIX’s 35th anniversary, this year’s theme is based on hexominoes—shapes made from six equal-sized squares connected edge to edge. Only 35 combinations exist and no arrangement can be packed into a rectangle, there’s always a queer protrusion. Throughout the printed program hexominoes are mixed with scans of 35mm film to set a vibrant scene. Indholdsfortegnelse Table of contents 2 Om MIX / About MIX 3 Velkommen / Welcome

1 Om MIX About MIX

•DK MIX CPH blev grundlagt i 1986, og er nu Danmarks ældste årligt tilbagevendende og endnu aktive filmfestival samt en af verdens ældste LGBTQ+-filmfestivaler. Vi er en frivillig forening drevet af passionerede LGBTQ+-filmelskere, der bruger vores fritid på at gøre MIX CPH til en spektakulær begivenhed—ikke blot for LGBTQ+-miljøet, men også for hele København og langt ud over byens grænser. Vi er derfor dybt afhængige af og taknemmelige for den støtte, vi får fra miljøet og vores samarbejdspartnere og for alle, der hjælper os med at nå vores mål. Vi bestræber os på at vise film, der udforsker og udfordrer grænserne for mainstreamens skildringer af køn og seksualitet.

•EN MIX CPH was founded in 1986 and is now the oldest annual film festival in Denmark, as well as one of the world’s oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals. We are a volunteer organization run by passionate LGBTQ+ film lovers who use their spare time to make MIX CPH a spectacular event— not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for all of Copenhagen and beyond. We are therefore dependent on, and deeply grateful for, the support we get from the community, our business partners, and everyone who helps us reach our goal: to show films that question and challenge the boundaries inherent in mainstream portrayals of gender and sexuality and reflect the diverse world we live in.

7 En bemærkning fra programlæggerne

•DK I 35 år har vi og de forrige frivillige arbejdet hårdt for at give København det bedste LGBTQ+-filmverdenen har at byde på. For at fejre vores position som den ældste og største LGBTQ+ film festival i Norden, har vi i år opbygget en solid grundpille af lokalt talent i vores tema Nordic Cinema med titlerne Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (s.21), Silence and Swords (DK) (s.22), Always Amber (SE) (s.21) og i vores tilbagevendende publikumsfavorit Nordic Lights (s.18). Vores dedikerede fokus på debuterende queer-talent reflekteres i vores program, hvor vores åbnings- og lukke-film, No Hard Feelings og I Carry You With Me begge er debutfilm. Faktisk er hele otte af vores i alt 45 spillefilm debutfilm dette år. Vi tror på queer modstandsbevægelser og vigtigheden af at skabe alliancer mellem queer- og minoritetsfestivaler, så til vores 35. Jubilæum har vi bedt seks queer filmfestivaler fra hele verden om at dele en kortfilm med os, som relaterer til temaet Riot. Vi støtter andre festivaler, der inspirerer os; de, som med et væld af odds imod sig arbejder hårdt for at skabe queer rum, og som på trods af modstand holder ud. Se deres udvalg og læs mere om de forskellige festivaler i kortfilmsprogrammet Riot (s.52). Sidste år fremhævede vi en mangel på lesbisk repræsentation i nyere film og lavede et retrospektivt program med vores yndlings lesbiske film fra 90’erne. Vi arbejder videre på problemet med manglende repræsentation i 2020 med fokus på Black Queer Cinema med både klassiske og nutidige titler. Se Tongues Untied (s.55), Pariah (s.56), Destiny (s.55) og Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story (s.57). Sidst, men ikke mindst, vil vi nødigt have at i går glip af alt det saftige. Som altid har vi et suverænt udvalg af porno som fejrer vores kalejdoskopiske seksualitet. Se Ask Any Buddy (s.27), Bloodsisters (s.48), Dry Wind (s.33), og This Is How We Do It (s.34). Men lad ikke kun os guide dig til hvad du skal lede efter, udforsk selv og find dine egne skatte i dette års program. Der er mange. Vi ses i mørket

8 Note from the programmers

•EN For 35 years, we and the volunteers before us, have been working hard to bring the best of queer cinema to Copenhagen. To celebrate our position as the oldest and largest LGBTQ+ film festival in the Nordics, this year we are centering a strong core of local talent, in our theme Nordic Cinema, with titles such as Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (p.21), Silence and Swords (DK) Lili-pris nomineret (p.22), Always Amber (SE) (p.21), and in our recurring audience- læs mere om prisen på s. 77 favorite shorts program Nordic Lights (p.18). Our dedication to focusing on debuting queer talent, is Lili Award nominee reflected in our program. Our opening film as well as our read about the award on p. 77 closing film, No Hard Feelings and I Carry You With Me respectively, are both first features. In fact, eight of our in total 45 full length films this year are first features. We believe in queer resistance and the importance of alliance among queer and minority festivals, so for our 35th anniversary we invited six queer film festivals from around the world to share a short film which embodies the theme Riot. We support the work of other festivals that inspire us; who work hard to create queer spaces against a multitude of odds Publikumspris and who persevere in trying times. See their selection and read nomineret more about the festivals in the short film program Riot (p.52). læs mere om prisen på s. 76 Last year we highlighted a void in lesbian representation Audience Award in current films and created a retrospective program of our nominee favorite lesbian films from the 90s. Continuing the practice of read about the award on p. 76 uncovering weak spots in representation in 2020, this year we focus on Black Queer Cinema and bring you both classics and contemporary titles. See Tongues Untied (p.55), Pariah (p.56), Destiny (p.55) and Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn- Copeland Story (p.57). Finally, we don’t want you to miss out on all the juice. As usual we have a great selection of porn to celebrate the sexual deviants that we are. See Ask Any Buddy (p.27), Bloodsisters (p.48), Dry Wind (p.33) and This Is How We Do It (p.34). But don’t let us tell you what to look for, explore and find your gems in this year’s MIX program. There are many. See you in the dark

•DK Sanger og sangskriver, Troye Sivan, beskriver i sangen My Youth Is Yours at ‘Ungdom er en fantasi om at finde nogen, der får én til at føle sig som kun et halvt menneske. Det handler om glæde, uvidenhed og om at fare vild. Det handler om at droppe alt og løbe væk, at begå fejl, at elske for meget—og hvordan det er okay, selv når det ikke er’. Fortællingerne i dette tema afspejler dette udsagn.

•EN Singer-songwriter Troye Sivan describes his song My Youth Is Yours with the sentiment ‘Youth is the fantasy of finding someone that makes you feel like half a person. It’s all about the joy, and naivety, and being lost. It’s about dropping everything and running away, making mistakes, loving too hard and how that’s okay even when it’s not.’ The stories in this film series reflect that statement.

•DK En række nationale og internationale forskningsprojekter tyder på, at LGBTQ+-personer er særligt udfordret på sundheds- og trivselsområdet. Flere faktorer spiller ind, hvoraf særligt én kan være at LGBTQ+ personer gør mindre brug af læger og sundhedssystemet end den øvrige befolkning, hvilket på sigt skaber sundhedsmæssig ulighed. I forbindelse med lanceringen af hjemmesiden lgbtsundhed.dk afholder MIX COPENHAGEN i samarbejde med LGBT+ Danmark en dag med fokus på mødet med sundhedssystemet. Et panel af eksperter i sundhed og LGBTQ+ vil tale om, hvordan vi gør det tryggere for LGBTQ+-personer at gå til lægen, og under en pop-up konsultation kan du stille spørgsmål og blive klogere på dine rettigheder og muligheder som LGBTQ+-person, når du søger læge. Eventet er på dansk.

•EN A number of national and international research projects indicate that LGBTQ+ individuals experience distinct health and wellness challenges. This is due to several factors, one of them may be that LGBTQ+ individuals use the healthcare system less than the rest of the population. In the long run, this creates health inequality. In collaboration with LGBT+ Denmark, MIX COPENHAGEN will facilitate a day focusing on LGBTQ+ encounters with the healthcare system in connection with the launch of the website lgbtsundhed.dk. There will be a panel where experts in the fields of LGBTQ+ health talk about how we can make it safer for LGBTQ+ people to go to the doctor, as well as a pop-up consultation where you can ask questions and learn more about your rights and options as LGBTQ+ person when you go to the doctor. The event is in Danish.
