              The Tingbjerg Experiment

              Louise Detlefsen / Denmark / 2026 / World Premiere / 75 min

              What happens when a select group of young, idealistic middle-class families settle in a Copenhagen ‘ghetto’ with a dream of developing a new neighborhood?

              For years, Tingbjerg has been called a ‘tough ghetto’. Now, the district is to be the setting for an experiment that will transform the so-called parallel society. The disadvantaged residential area on the outskirts of Copenhagen has long been notorious for gang conflicts and shootings, but at the same time it has been home and a beloved village for countless people, especially those from non-Western backgrounds. 

              A small group of young, idealistic families from the well-educated, white middle class are handpicked to buy some newly built houses in the middle of Tingbjerg for a low price and with a clause that binds them to the area for at least four years. In return, they must contribute to developing the area and participate in the community. The intentions are good, but what about the realities? And what if the residents simply like their neighborhood the way it is?

              Director Louise Detlefsen has followed the experiment through four years of ups and downs, creating a human and entertaining film that looks at all sides of the issue. A film that also raises the question of what it really takes for us to settle down next to people who are not like us?
