              Birthdays + In Search of the Miraculous + The House + Europe Endless

              Adrian Jalily, Sybilla Tuxen, Carl Olsson & Thomas Elley / Denmark, Estonia & Sweden / 71 min

              Adrian Jalily’s ‘Birthdays’ is a short hybrid film about Bruno, who is not invited to a birthday party with either the boys or the girls in his class.

              Sybilla Tuxen’s ‘In Search of the Miraculous’ is a film about the power of imagination, where two people and two worldviews collide in a small shed on the edge of the world.

              Carl Olsson’s ‘The House’ is a warm observation of life in a modern human microcosm – a nine-story apartment building where the residents have created their own universes.

              Thomas Elley’s ‘Europe Endless’ is about the life of a Bulgarian truck driver in Denmark and on the lonely European highways, depicted with brutal realism and precision. 

              Birthdays

              Adrian Jalily / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 19 min

              A short hybrid film about Bruno who doesn't get invited to birthday parties with either the boys or the girls in his class.

              Bruno doesn’t get invited to any of the birthday parties in 2nd grade. Bruno is not really ‘one of the boys’ and he will never really be a girl either. When Bruno’s Iranian father Marlon picks him up from school, Bruno tells him about the lack of invitations. Although Bruno doesn’t want to upset or hurt his parents, the three of them enter a new and unfamiliar landscape that they must learn to navigate together. Adrian Jalily has directed a semi-autobiographical film with an impressionistic lightness of form that moves effortlessly between documentary realism and staging, but which speaks with great empathy on difficult topics such as childhood, gender and identity.

              In Search of the Miraculous

              Sybilla Tuxen / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 11 min

              A film about the significance of the imagination. Two people and two worldviews collide in a small shed at the edge for the world.

              Alex and Ana are trying to repair an old radio which transmits sound waves from the Caucasian mountains. Ana does not believe it is possible to see or understand things she does not believe in, but Alex knows it is possible to see only what you believe. A conflict erupts between the past and the present understanding of reality and the complex question of choosing your own reality. He believes in a world he creates himself, and is in search of the things you cannot see. A short and powerful film from the director of ‘Silent Sun of Russia’ (CPH:DOX 2023).

              The House

              Carl Olsson / Estonia & Sweden / 2024 / 16 min

              Hver lejlighed i en ni-etagers boligblok er sit eget menneskelige mikrokosmos i Carl Olssons korte, men episke stemningsrapport fra en myretue af cement.

              Although the apartments are identical and the building itself could have been located anywhere in the world, the residents here have nonetheless created their own unique, individual homes. Every illuminated window in the nine-story building is a world unto itself. Everyone has constructed their own mini universe to reflect exactly who they are and what they dream of, but everyone still lives under the same roof. ‘The House’ is a warm observation of modern life, exploring the contrast between us as part of a society and as identity-seeking individuals. Olsson has developed his distinct, anthropological view of modern life. Here we get the Olsson method in its purest form.

              Europe Endless

              Thomas Elley / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 26 min

              The life of a Bulgarian truck driver in Denmark and on the lonely European highways is depicted with brutal realism and precision.

              Thomas Elley made a name for himself with his two graduation films from the Danish Film School last year. ‘Europe Endless’ adds another chapter to Elleys’ mapping of masculinity in crisis on the margins of society. Here, we meet a Bulgarian truck driver who lives and works in Denmark, but spends most of his life on the lonely European highways. Driven by a sudden impulse, he travels back to his hometown and for two days he drifts around, visiting friends and family from his past while contemplating his future. The angle is uncompromisingly realistic, but Elley is also a sharp stylist with a rare ability to mix formats and idioms in new and unexpected ways.
