Individ & Fællesskab
Under temaet INDIVID & FÆLLESSKAB dykker vi ned i spørgsmål om identitet, fællesskab og tilhørsforhold. Dokumentarerne vender både blikket indad i personlige beretninger om familie, liv og psykologi og blikket udad imod de afgørende fællesskaber og sociale sammenhænge, der definerer vores liv.
Unanimal
Sally Jacobson & Tuva Bjork / Sweden & France / 2024 / 72 min / Sprog: Swedish, English & French / Fag: Filosofi, samfundsfag, mediefag
Unanimal dykker ned i menneskets komplekse og ofte absurde forhold til dyr i den antropocæne tidsalder. Gennem poetiske billeder og stærke scener skildrer filmen en verden, hvor dyr er blevet en forlængelse af menneskets ejerskab – som slagtedyr, kæledyr eller udstillingsobjekter. Dokumentaren skildrer mennesker, der køber dyr, klæder dem i tøj, bruger dem som cirkusartister eller betragter dem gennem tremmerne i en zoologisk have – alt sammen for vores egen fornøjelse eller måske for at bekræfte en følelse af dominans.
The Tender Revolution
Annelie Boros / Germany / 2024 / 91 min / Sprog: German / Fag: Tysk, samfundsfag
For et år siden mistede intruktør Annelie Boros sin nære veninde og bofælle til selvmord. Siden da har ét spørgsmål fyldt hendes sind: Kunne en mere omsorgsfuld verden have gjort en forskel? En verden, hvor man ikke står alene med sine problemer, og hvor der er tid og plads til at tage sig af hinanden. For at udforske dette møder vi i filmen mennesker, der har gjort omsorg til deres livs fokus: Arnold fra Hamborg, der plejer sin handicappede søn døgnet rundt; Bożena, en polsk 24-timers plejer, der kæmper for bedre forhold for plejere; klimaaktivisten Amanda fra Peru, der forsvarer sit folks levevilkår; og Samuel, en kørestolsbruger, der skaber inkluderende fællesskaber. Men de kæmper alle mod et samfund, der ikke værdsætter deres indsats. De har fået nok og kræver forandring. Men hvordan kan man skabe en verden, hvor omsorg står i centrum?
Hacking Hate
Simon Klose / Sweden / 2024 / 87 min / Sprog: Swedish & English / Undertekster: English
If you’re looking for excitement in life, My Vingren can lend you some. The award-winning and fearless Swedish journalist has made it her mission to uncover far-right organisations from the inside. And she does it so well that she has been called the real-life equivalent of Lisbeth Salander. She goes undercover on the darkest pages of the internet and uncovers how neo-Nazis in the Nordic countries are organised – and you get a bit of a shock when you realise how widespread the rot is at a time when platforms earn huge sums of money from all the clicks that hate and lies generate. With the help of the people who led to Donald Trump’s Twitter account being shut down and who were sued by Elon Musk, she digs deep into the heart of the Scandinavian underground of bizarre Nazi influencers, and there’s more than a twist or two to the story. But her dedication comes at a high price. Simon Klose has created a deeply compelling thriller from the real world about a woman who does what she can to change it.
The Dating Game
Violet Du Feng / United States, United Kingdom & Norway / 2025 / 92 min / Sprog: Mandarin Chinese / Undertekster: English
It’s not easy being a man in today’s China. At least not if you want a wife. The dating market is fiercely competitive and decades of one-child policy have not made it any easier. So the three bachelors Zhou, Li and Wu sign up for an intensive seven-day dating course with the popular coach Hao. And now it’s no longer enough to just be yourself. Image, status and finances are everything in the Chinese dating market, and then it’s just not good enough to be a 36-year-old working-class man earning $600 a month. With an army of other suitors chasing them, the three gentlemen have no choice but to listen to their coach. Hao teaches them dodgy pick-up lines, but could do with a piece of advice or two himself as his own marriage begins to fall apart. ‘The Dating Game’ is an entertaining, at time absurd and always heartfelt story about love and gender roles in modern China.
