DANMARK
Max
Kestner
Max by Chance
This is the story of Max, the director's own
story, playfully animated within the realms of documentary.
Max's story traces back several generations to sailers,
industrialists and Summer of Love hippies - everyone depicted
with whole-hearted love and equal amounts of irony. But there is
something more at stake here, something larger than the
biographical filmic note of a single man. The film embraces with
vulnerable playfulness life's many coincidences and grapples
with questions such as genetics, destiny and family patterns. |

Close
Close examines a series of
situations between bodies that reach out for each other. How
close can you get? And can you ever get close enough? The form
is experimental and depicts the meeting of bodies in unusual
close-ups that bypass the typical pornographic exhibition of
naked bodies. The result is a picture ballet that accommodates
beauty as well as claustrophobic terror in its presentation of
feelings like fear, intimacy and distance. |

2 Minutes
The best way to find out who you are is to test
your own limits - to do the utmost of your ability. That is the
theme of this short psychological thriller. A boy lies in a
bathtub, holding his breath.
He is
trying to break his personal record - 2 minutes. |

Happy
Now
"Happy Now" is a bittersweet story about wanting
to be seen as an individual. A typical American family goes to
the beach. Their seemingly perfect life is turned upside-down
when the mother Carol, who has long felt overlooked in her
marriage, kisses a lifeguard and is caught by her husband. |
