And the King Said, What a Fantastic Machine
With a timeline that starts with the invention of photography in the 1800s and (so far) ends with Instagram, this fast-paced and award-winning film takes us on an entertaining surf across the last 150 years of visual culture.

+ Try a Camera Obscura
Before and after the premiere, you can try the world's first camera, the so-called Camera Obscura, in a mobile version brought by the directors themselves. Find it in the Empore Cinema foyer - it's not to be missed - and get the wild optical experience that is the starting point of film history. You can also enjoy a free beer from To Øl. After the film, Mette Sandbye, professor at the Department of Arts and Culture, will talk to the film's two directors.
