A violently honest shortdoc featuring home video footage taken by the director’s late father, a man who had a few things to hide. Although the editing is very rough and has a distinct “home made” feel to it, the effect of the film is nonetheless haunting. IMDB (awaiting 5 votes) / Official site Directed by: [...]
Short doc winner of CPH:DOX 2009. “Three Pilots” is a beautiful doc about flying and the people who enjoy it. Visually the film is quite poetic, but it didn’t really get to me. 7 mins. Directed by: Philip Leaman
Can be seen January 6th in Denmark! More info on DOX:BIO. “Into Eternity” is like no other documentary you have ever seen. It’s a film that questions how we see the world and offers a peak into the far, far future. If “2001″ were a documentary, this would be it. When I saw the trailer [...]
Here are the films I managed to see this year: The Invention of Dr. Nakamats Into Eternity Kim Karima Objectified

In Denmark Kim is relatively well-known as his letters have been studied in school since the war. His letters and diary entries are full or [...]
Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross, who have previously worked on “The Road to Guantanamo”, cast their attention on the work of Naomi Klein. We are in anti-Bush and anti-capitalism territory… which could get boring because we have seen it so many times. All my Red Flags go up with the fast pace of the editing [...]
In the late 90s Swedish, dot-com millionaire O’Casey decided to make a horror/cult/noir film. This doc manages to portray the dot com hype and what it does to the mindset of people caught up in its success. It also attempts to show how group-think (or “mass hypnosis” as Casey calls it) can lead a bunch [...]
