From both a scientific and an artistic point of view, the film seeks to answer the question, 'what is light?'.

This film was shot at a factory. A factory making shirts in the town of Herning i Jutland, decorated by Paul Gadegaard. Formerly art was confined to churches and palaces. Today man is in focus - his working place. Paul Gadegaard has been able to accomplish this pioneer work thanks to art experiments carried on since the beginning of this century.

A take it or leave it auteur-experimental fiction exercise: two women are monitoring their dreams, dreams that may of course also be stark naked reality, at least to the dreamers, as they come and they go like bubbles, rising, floating, bursting. A man appears out of nowhere. Poet Peter Laugesen co-wrote the script with Tom Elling, who was Lars von Trier's director of photography on "The Element of Crime".

A film experiment that uses a monotonous technique to depict a monotonous slice of daily life.

An interview with Yugoslavian director Dušan Makavejev.

Jytte Rex charts the white or wilfully deleted spots on the map of primarily women's happiness and grief. This is done by the experimental filmmaker's positioning of a dream narrator as a guide through the manyleveled visions, stories and pictures that unite work, love, and revolt in any individual's life. The title refers to the cloth or veil on which crucified Christ's tormented face left an imprint for posterity.

An art film by Per Arnoldi about a wide range of things with redundant, non-functional ornamentation and banal beauty: Cakes, candies, lollipops, mechanical toys, slot machines, paper hats, masks, noses, fireworks, streamers, artificial flowers, pranks, flags and much more more. It is terrific that such ornate things are produced, on top of that by machine, and add appetizing and purchase-promoting properties to them. And in terms of beauty, this very banality can be accepted as fully as anything else. (DFI)

Starring Reuter Christiansen herself and shot in the lush landscape of Møn, the Danish island where she has lived since 1970, THE EXECUTIONER uses a fragmented narrative to tell “a story of woman’s degradation and exaltation,” as its subtitle indicates. A landmark of Danish feminist art, the film was also Reuter Christiansen’s first major collaboration with Henning, who composed the film’s lyrical, subtly experimental music.

12-year-old Martin finds the going tough. Manhood is approaching, but so far mostly as aches and pain. His mother's men friends are definitely nothing like the father he does not have. So some kind of male bonding is inevitable when he meets Funder, a juvenile droput on the run from the police. There is also girl-friend Rikke to consider. Who needs Martin the most? Coming of age isn't so easy.

An existential pictorial poem about human life. "Can they stand it? Do they never feel?" (DFI)

A drama-documentary film about the fatal effect of poor living conditions on health – the so-called "social inheritance." The principal characters in the film are two fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, Carl and Hanne. Covering a hundred-year period and drawing on case stories recorded by actual hospital staff, the film illustrates a number of variations of "the same old story."

A poetic fairy tale about a man who steals the clown's heart, seeks to give it to various people who don't want it or need it, and finally delivers it back to the clown. (DFI)

Report from life at a campsite on Samsø. The campsite is seen as an introduction to Denmark, as a Danish microcosm.

With the relationship between mother and daughter as a common theme, the film is divided into 9 image rooms with action patterns that are based on archetypal images and motifs. The film is unconventional in its choice of means of action. Ursula Reuter Christiansen, who is a painter, tells her adventurous stories with an emphasis on the visual element, which works in interaction with Henning Christiansen's original soundtrack. (DFI)

The film shows examples of furniture, ceramics, glass, silver, cutlery and textiles. It was produced in connection to an exhibition "The Arts of Denmark" that took place in USA 1960-1961.

A cinematic experiment that moves in several planes. Four people act out a human course, seen with white silhouettes on a black background. 'Inside' them - or behind them - a different process plays out, supported and contradicted by the sound side. (DFI)

Musical cartoon fantasy of "When the Saints", sung and played by Matty Peters and Billy Moore. (DFI)

The film is shot at Havana's psychiatric hospital, Mazorra, where mainly the chronically mentally ill are treated through a rehabilitation program that aims to integrate them into society through occupational therapy. The film tells about the treatment methods used and the underlying attitude, which can also be taken as an expression of Cuban society's view of humanity.

What happens when Adam and Eve have borrowed money for everything they own and have? Then they end up in the hamster wheel, like everyone else, who consumes beyond their means. Humorous fable about the blessings of the installment system - and its consequences. (DFI)

An association course of circles, triangles, flowers, an eye and a tear drawn with chalk - all tied to the rhythm of the music (New Orleans Parade). The film has the subtitle "Some lines scratched in the film by Jørgen Roos". (DFI)
