BUSTER shouts: ACTION! The curtain rises for this year’s best film event for children, youth and adults! A veritable firework of enchanting film stories, media experiences, and party time for all.

Film Palads. You can look forward to great entertainment from the hosts from the Danish children’s TV channel Ramasjang, and plenty of events and surprises on both occasions.

Get ready to experience, learn, think, produce, share, cry and laugh!

But the festival is much more than just films: this year’s BUSTER focuses on topics such as GERMANY, PHILOSOPHY, INCLUSION, CIRCUS and MANGA.

This year BUSTER has invited the whole family to join him on his elevenday film journey. Meet his mum and dad who are just as crazy about film as BUSTER himself; his teacher Rita, who finds inspiration in the festival’s many offerings and uses it in the classroom. And who doesn’t know about granddad, who always wants to talk about films from the old days? Little sister Ingeborg does not care too much whether it’s new or old, as long as it’s for children, and when BUSTER is in the company of his best friends Hannibal and Jerry, the films have to be spiced up with events, workshops and plenty of partying. If it’s youth films you’re after, you should follow the older brother. He may seem a bit reserved, but his passion for film is just as great as for the rest of BUSTER’s family. BUSTER always finds the best and latest children’s films for its audiences at festivals all over the world. BUSTER shows illuminating films from all continents; inspiring Danish stories from past and present; stories to provoke; characters to love; sounds that awaken the senses; and colourful, creative and surprising animations. This year’s festival will kick off with a blast of an opening ceremony on 5 September, when Disney’s ‘Planes’ premieres in Denmark, following in the successful footsteps of the much loved 3D animation ‘Cars’. When we finally hand out the BUSTER prizes on 13 September, it will be in company of the Danish-produced superhero film ‘Antboy’ in Nordisk

In addition, the festival has organised plenty of events and workshops where you can let your creativity loose or even try to produce your own work. For example, BUSTER hosts family events during both festival weekends with film experiences for children of all ages and their parents. They take place in theatres and selected cultural institutions like Circus Dannebrog, Arken, FILM-X, the music venue Pumpehuset and several museums. There will also be the opportunity to participate in a seminar on the making of a film, when Martin Barnewitz and Søren Grinderslev Hansen talks about their upcoming sci-fi film ‘Danny’s Judgement Day ‘. Moreover, Denmark’s aspiring film talents have had the opportunity to test their own skills by participating in Denmark’s largest film competition for young people, OREGON. The competition ends during the festival, and BUSTER’s Media Academy Workshops offers everybody hands-on experience with filmmaking. BUSTER’s Media Academy is supported by Nordea Fonden. As a special treat, the film industry can look forward to discussing the development of new children and youth narratives on an international level during our seminar: ‘Install New Stories’. BUSTER sends a heartfelt thanks to the generous sponsors, contributors, cinemas, helpful volunteers, interns and everyone else who have made it possible to realise this year’s one and only children’s and youth film festival. Enjoy the festival!

OPENING GALA

Opening Gala

Total Running Time: 140 min. 7 years + BUSTER invites you to a blast of an opening gala on Thursday 5 September at 9.00 hrs at Nordisk Film Palace. We roll out the red carpet and welcome you to a preview screening of the fantastic animation ‘Planes’ in 3D. The 11-day film festival is kicked off by Sofie Linde from DR Ultra, so look forward to fun, pomp and glitter when it all gets going!

Planes 3D

Meet the good-natured Dusty, a crop-dusting plane who dreams of participating in a major flying competition. There is just one little problem - he suffers terribly from a fear of heights. But with the help of his mentor Skipper and a number of new friends, Dusty qualifies for the championships. Now the question is just whether he’s got what it takes to win. ‘Planes’ is related to Pixar’s ‘Cars’ about Lightning McQueen, the crane car Bumble and all the other loveable four-wheelers, without being an actual sequel. So get ready for a wonderful, high-flying story about daring to pursue one’s dream in spite of difficult odds. A lively animation adventure with full speed ahead and lots of fun for great and small.

Antboy

Welcome to Denmark’s first real superhero film! When the young boy Pelle, who is almost invisible at school, is bitten in a twist of fate by a genetically modified ant, he develops unimaginable super-powers. With the help of his new friend, the comic book nerd Wilhelm, Pelle creates a secret identity as the superhero Antboy. Slowly, things start to happen in the small community. And when the sinister and mad super-villain, Flea, enters the scene, Antboy the superhero must step up! The film is based on Kenneth Bogh Andersen’s popular children’s books and is a Danish love declaration to colourful American comic book heroes like Spiderman, Superman and Batman. A fun and exciting super-story for children of all ages.

Kaoutar Bouhafa

Magnus Birke

Hello everyone. My name is Amy. I am 12 years old and I love to watch films and do sports. I play tennis and practice karate in my spare time. I go to Mosede school, where I am attending 6th grade. I love going to school and being with my friends. I have a mother and a father and two little brothers. I also have a dog and 2 cats. I like watching romantic films and action films. PHOTO: Ditte Valente

Hello, I’m Kaoutar. I am 12 years old and my birthday is on 6 September, just after BUSTER has started. I often hang out with friends and family and have a good time. Right now I’ve started to read the entire Harry Potter series, and so far I think it’s good. In my spare time I play a lot of football with my friends, and do it very often. At the moment I practise athletics because I love to run, throw and have many other challenges. I really want to be in the children’s jury because I love to watch films, and I have therefore seen quite a few. I like to talk about the plot and give them comments and stars, so it’s just the thing for me.

My name is Magnus Birke. I am 12 years old and attend Guldberg School. I have a great family who always supports me and helps me when I have a hard time with something. I also have some really good friends who are always up to something fun. I also like many different kinds of sports such as football, basketball and handball. My interests are among other things history, animals and dinosaurs, but my taste in films is mostly comedy or action. I also love to travel, especially to Italy and Germany. Funnily enough, my favourite food is Italian food too. I would like to say that I am very happy and look forward to being a part of BUSTER’s children’s jury.

Nada Fathy El-Sayed

Nefer Skjoldan

Peter Vilmar

Hi, my name is Nada, I am 13 years old and attend 6th grade at Søndermarkskolen. In my spare time, I play badminton and take ballet classes. This is my 5th year of ballet, and I’ve done a few months of badminton. I love to speak my mind and hear the opinions of others. I am a very open person and not in the least bit shy. I love to get to know new people. I love to discuss various subjects inside out with people I don’t know. It makes it much more exciting, because you don’t know what they like. I love films, especially those that contain romance, drama and a little bit of action. Those, where something new happens all the time, but I cannot name a favourite.

My name is Nefer, I am 12 years old and love films and books. I attend 6th grade at Guldberg School. I like many kinds of films: children’s animation, action-packed science fiction, melancholic fantasy and much more. I mostly read dark fantasy and fantasy, but I’ve also read some science fiction and realistic fiction. I think I would be good in a children’s jury, because I have seen many films that I can compare with. I like to watch films, because it is easy to engage in another world, whether that world is one that has just been taken over by aliens, one where people can visit each other’s dreams or where vampires can be vegetarian.

My name is Peter Vilmar and I’m 13 years old. We are four in my family: me, my twin brother, my mum and my dad. My mum and dad are divorced. I live in Greve and attend Mosede School, where there are good teachers and friends. I am a bit quiet in school and don’t raise my hand too often. In my spare time I play a lot of football, I’m on the first team in Karlslunde. Our coach is my dad, and we train 2-3 times week. I also hang out with my friends in my spare time, and we’re always having plenty of fun. I am interested in film in the sense that I always think it’s fun and nice to watch a film. I am mostly into action and crime films.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME: CHILDREN

Casper and Emma - Best Friends Arne Lindtner Næss. 3 years +

Casper is nervous about starting in a new kindergarten. But here he meets Petra, and they become best friends. Together with the stuffed toys Little Lion and Miss Rabbit, they experience a lot of exciting things. It will soon be Petra’s birthday and she wants a dog. Her mother, however, thinks that she is a little too young for that. When she meets Bassa the dog, Miss Rabbit gets jealous and goes into hiding. But how can they have a birthday party when Petra can’t find her beloved stuffed toy? ‘Casper and Emma - Best Friends’ is something as rare as a non-animated film for the youngest, based on one of Norway’s greatest children’s book series. A colourful and imaginative story for kindergarten children, who are guaranteed to be well entertained.

KARSTEN OG PETRA BLIR BESTEVENNER Norway 2012, 74 min. Danish Interpreter Director: Arne Lindtner Næss / Cast: Elias Søvold-Simonsen, Nora Amundsen, Janne Formoe / Distr.: Norwegian Film Institute (NFI)

Miffy The Movie Hans Perk. 3 years +

Most of us probably know the little white rabbit from TV, and now Miffy can enjoy her very own feature film. Together with her father and mother and her friends Melanie, Grunty and Snuffy, she embarks on a treasure hunt at the zoo and learns a lot about animals, colours and numbers along the way. The author Dick Bruna’s popular children’s books have touched millions of children’s hearts since they appeared nearly 60 years ago, and this computer-animated version is faithful to the original both in terms of its playful and innocent approach as well as its happy primary colours. A delightful little adventure for the youngest among us, which also offers learning, sweet songs and lots of fun! So take the little ones by the hand and give them a cinema experience that will put them in a great mood.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME: CHILDREN

Come on, Let’s Find a Treasure 3D Irina Probost. 4 years +

This charming story about a bear and a tiger on a treasure hunt is reminiscent of both ‘Winnie the Pooh’ and ‘Petterson and Findus’. The original is a popular German children’s book series, as some will remember from Danish television’s ‘Dream Time with Janosch’ in the days when mum and dad were little. “When my nose itches, it is a sign that something wonderful is going to happen”, says the bear, while the tiger just has a cold when his nose itches. On their adventure they meet a cat, a dog, a hippo and a pig, just to name a few of the animals that appear in this colourful universe. The fantastic antics will go down well with the youngest audience members, who are guaranteed to go home and produce ancient treasure maps straight after they leave the cinema.

KOMM, WIR FINDEN EINEN SCHATZ Germany 2012, 74 min. Danish Interpreter Director: Irina Probost / Distr.: Beta Cinema

Pororo: The Racing Adventure Young-kyun Park. 4 years +

The naughty little penguin Pororo from TV has now made the leap to the movies. When a cargo plane with vehicles destined for the annual sleighing race crash-lands in Pororo’s village, a fantastic adventure begins for the penguin and his friends. Before they know it, they are set to take part in the big race! But the other contestants include their big idols, the White Tigers, and the nasty Brown Bears, who don’t hesitate to use dirty tricks. Pororo and his friends are helped by the boasting Toto, whom they believe to be a great racer, but do they have what it takes to win the race? Get ready for a fun and action-packed ride in a charming universe of soft colours and crazy characters.

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME: CHILDREN

Fidgety Bram

Anna van der Heide. 6 years + It is not easy being different. That’s what Bram realizes when he starts first grade. He was quite looking forward to it, because he loves words, inventions and acquiring new knowledge. But in school, you have to sit still, mind your homework and not ask too many questions - and all of this is incredibly hard for a bundle of energy like Bram. The film is narrated from Bram’s point of view with all that it entails in terms of crazy animations and quirky fantasy sequences. But the film is not just a funny story about what the world might look like in the eyes of a highly creative child. In spite of its light style, it is also a relevant contribution to the debate about whether an individual student’s abilities should be taken into consideration more in the classroom.

Moon Man

Stephan Schesch. 6 years + The man in the moon is all alone and bored stiff, but when he grabs hold of the tail of a meteor, he is rushing towards an adventure on Earth. He is soon missed, because the small children down there can not fall asleep without the Man in the Moon in his usual place. The children wonder where he has gone. Earth’s power-hungry president is also wondering, because he saw some footprints leading away from the place where the meteor struck. The president wants to catch this Man in the Moon at any cost, as he assumes that he must be a threat to the Earth’s safety. And at the same time, he is contemplating to conquer the moon. ‘Moon Man’ is original and imaginative animation art. A jazzy tribute to the spirit of the innocent child and a warning against megalomania and the fear of the unknown.

She finds it silly, and can actually understand why she is being teased at school. One day AninA is fighting with another girl in the school yard, and as a punishment the principal gives them a peculiar task: for a week, they have to carry a sealed envelope in which it says what their punishment will be - and they are under no circumstances allowed to open the envelope! Curiosity and the waiting time are tormenting AninA like a nightmare, but the test is turning into an informative adventure. Although the film is South American, we meet a familiar children’s life in an imaginative animation style that bursts with energy and ingenuity.

Stepping on the Flying Grass Eugene Panji. 7 years +

What is your dream? Gus and his classmates have to write an essay about their biggest wish. One of them wants to become an actor, another hopes to become a soldier, but Gus has a far more modest wish: he wants to dine in a fine restaurant, so he can feel like a king for a day. This, however, is far too expensive for Gus’s pocket money budget, so he has to find alternative ways to collect cash - and suddenly he no longer has time to see his friends. Former advertising and music video director Eugene Panji has made a simple, sweet and charming debut with beautiful images. The result is an unprejudiced story about making wishes come true. Also the ones you did not know you had.

Believe

David Scheinmann. 8 years + We are in Manchester in 1984. 11-year-old Georgie is something of a football talent, but when he is accused of stealing, he doesn’t know what to do. Fortunately, the former football coach of Manchester United, Matt Busby, sees potential in the grubby kid. He therefore decides to coach Georgie and his friends so that they can participate in the upcoming football tournament. But neither the strict teachers at the boarding school nor Georgie’s mother can really understand the boy’s desire to play football. This genuine feel-good film is based on a true story and guaranteed to score a winning goal with both children and adults. Not least when it comes to the film’s final football match, where nothing is decided until the final whistle is blown.

The Day of the Crows Jean-Christophe Dessaint. 8 years +

This adventurous tale of the encounter between nature and culture sends a warm nod to Kasper Hauser. Deep in the forest, a father and his little son live isolated from the outside world. The son has been given strict instructions not to leave the forest: “One step outside the forest, and you will disappear immediately”. The mother is no longer with them, but the boy imagines her among the fantastic creatures of the forest that he communicates with. Inner demons are tormenting the gruff father, and when he breaks his leg in a storm, the boy has to drag him out of the woods and into the nearest village - the place the father escaped to many years ago. A fabulous French animation about an unusual father-son relationship and a past that will not be buried.

Eskil & Trinidad Stephan Apelgren. 8 years +

It is dark and dreary in northern Sweden. Eskil is tired of constantly moving as a result of his father being a project employee. He misses having friends and he misses his mother, who has moved to Denmark because the winter darkness depressed her. But what he misses in particular is for his father to understand that he doesn’t want to be a hockey star like his father was until a knee injury put him out of the game. Eskil is much more interested in old wooden ships. When he meets the eccentric Trinidad, who is building a mighty boat to take her away from the eternal darkness, he finally finds somewhere to fit in. ‘Eskil and Trinidad’ is an imaginative description of friendship and dreams - and how our dreams become greater when we have someone to share them with.

Mark Twain’s story about the vagabond’s son Huckleberry Finn has been adapted several times throughout film history. This time in German, in a lively and inspired version.

The Rocket

Kim Mordaunt. 10 years + Documentarist Kim Mordaunt has so much control of his pictorial universe, that he makes Laos come to life before our eyes in this exceptional story about 10-year-old Ahlo, who is perceived as a jinx, because his twin brother died at birth.

Wadjda

Haifaa Al-Mansour. 11 years + Wadjda is a girl whose one wish is a nice, green bike, but her mother is reluctant to fulfil her daughter’s dream to be mobile on two wheels, dreading the reactions from their local community. Wadjda, however, will not give up that easily. When she hears about a Koran-reading contest where the first prize is a large sum of money, she enlists immediately to get money for the bike. This charming gem, directed by the first female director in Saudi Arabia, won the award for best Arab film at the film festival in Dubai. In a country that is so oppressive towards women, it is quite a sensation that ‘The Green Bike’ has made a breakthrough, especially considering the film’s thinly veiled criticism of women’s rights in the country. Please note that the film will be shown with Norwegian subtitles.

Frederikke Mikkelsen

Freja Riemann

Igor Egholm

My name is Frederikke, I’m 16 years old and from Gentofte. I attend high school and am doing a media science specialisation. Every Monday, I attend a film school for young people called Station Next, which I’ve been attending the last two years. On our first-year film I was the director and therefore learned a whole lot about making films. I have been to Tromsø to NUFF Film Festival, where I made a short film in 4 days with 5 other young people from different countries. Last year I was helping out at OREGON. It is always a great experience to be on a film festival which is why I’m looking forward to BUSTER.

My name is Freja, I’m 16 years old and love film. Features, shorts, documentaries, new and old films. I think there is something very fascinating about the way film can absorb you completely in a story. I have myself acted in the feature film ‘Max Embarrassing’ and in all seasons of ‘The Fortress’, which was recorded when I was between 12 and 16 years old. It has been a really big part of my life and has given me some of the best and most special experiences. Through this I have met a lot of nice people. Right now, I am attending Det fri Gymnasium in Copenhagen, and I hope to be part of a lot of exciting film projects in the future.

My name is Igor and I am 15 years old. I attend a French school (Prince Henrik School) in Vesterbro/Frederiksberg, and I love learning, music and laughter. I have done everything from commercials to short films, series and feature films such as ‘Lærkevej’ and ‘Headhunter’, and recently I played one of the main parts in the advent calendar ‘Julestjerner’. The most important thing to me is music. I have played the cello for 9 years and have won numerous awards and scholarships. I like all kinds of music, because I feel that there is something unique about every genre of music. That’s why I have a very open mind when it comes to music. I love good comedy such as ‘South Park’ or ‘Friends’.

Kristoffer Bjørkholt Sørensen

Sebastian Bull Rygaard Sarning

My name is Kristoffer, I am 15 years old and live in Herlev. I attend 8th grade at Kildegård School. I am a volunteer at the local children and youth film society, Herlev Skolebio, and in the context of my work there I am involved in selecting films for different age groups. I have also been at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy, also as a jury member. Film is my passion, and I hope that I will get the opportunity to work in film, also in the more distant future.

Hello, I am Sebastian and I am 17 years old. To me, film is like a journey. When you watch a film, you go through a sensual and emotional journey. That’s what I love about watching a film. I played my first part when I was 13 years old in ‘Submarino’, and later I was in ‘The Hunt’ and played a starring role in some short films. When I recorded ‘The Hunt’, I realised that acting makes me feel both happy and challenged.

The new baby is in fact a walking ray of sunshine, who brings joy wherever he goes. And that is bad for business! This Tim Burton-esque animation musical is both morbidly funny, original and thought-provoking. Yes, you have to be something of a dead fish not to find this film larger than life.

Baby Blues

Kasia Roslaniec. 14 years + 17-year-old Natalia is a new mother, but has no intentions of letting the little one come in the way of her partying lifestyle. She is fed up with her lazy boyfriend Kuba, who has eyes for her mother. He spends most of his time hanging out with his skater friends and getting high. She soon gives him the boot, determined to live her own life as a single mother with things under control. But the idea of an easy life with money in the account, a party life and zero stress collides with the harsh realities. This harrowing Polish film about teenage parenthood mixes Dogme aesthetics with the immediacy of the Dardenne brothers, using wild colours and pitch-black humour without watering down this very serious topic.

Broken Glass Park Bettina Blümner. 14 years +

The teenage girl Sascha dreams of two things: writing a book about her dead mother and taking revenge on her stepfather, who killed her. She lives in a dilapidated housing estate in Berlin and feels only hatred and frustration towards her bleak surroundings. When she meets the newspaper editor Volker, he takes pity on her and lets her come and stay with him and his son Felix in their wealthy suburban house. The story soon evolves into a minor love triangle, but Sascha has not forgotten her plans of revenge. ‘Broken Glass Park’ is a riveting and sometimes quite amusing youth drama by first-time director Bettina Blümner with an almost hypnotic performance by the young Jasna Fritzi Bauer in the leading role.

The Deflowering of Eva van End Michiel ten Horn. 14 years +

Eva is a clumsy teenage girl who is ignored both at school and at home. Her mother and father, Etty and Evert, are warming up for their silver wedding anniversary, an event that arouses little enthusiasm in Etty. Her brothers Erwin and Manuel are like day and night. 21-year-old Erwin has become the head of the local DIY centre and is about to move in with his fiancee. Manuel is hanging out, smoking marijuana and basking in the local girls’ admiration. Everything changes radically, however, when Eve for 2 weeks houses a German exchange student who seems eerily perfect. A tragi-comic gem in Wes Anderson’s spirit that skates on the verge of the absurd, but reaches an edifying point about solidarity and about daring to step into character.

In Bloom

Nana Ekvtimishvili, Simon Groß. 14 years + Everyday life in Georgia in the year 1992 is not easy for the teenage girl Natia. She is told off at school and her mother does not understand her. But she is inseparable from her friend Eka, who has her own problems to deal with. Food is being rationed, and people are generally fighting to make ends meet after the country gains independence. Natia is forced to marry a local gangster, and her fairytale prince disappears, so what now? ‘In Bloom’ has earned praise all over the world and has been responsible for the talk of a rebirth of Georgian cinema. The film’s images are ultra-realistic, and use an almost documentary and eternally present camera, which gives you the impression of being there yourself.

Jîn

Reha Erdem. 14 years + For the last 30 years, a bitter war has raged between Kurdish guerrilla forces and the Turkish army. And when the young Kurd Jin runs away from her division, she is suddenly caught between two fronts. As a lonely girl, she is hunted by the Turks as well as her former comrades. But Jin is determined to get away from the chaos and is fortunately a sly fox when it comes to surviving in the wilderness. We hold our breath in this bewitchingly beautiful story as we follow the girl journeying through the landscapes, trying to avoid being discovered. ‘Jin’ is quite a different type of war film, close to a sensuous nature experience, that you shouldn’t miss seeing on the big screen.

Lilet Never Happened Jacco Groen. 14 years +

The little Filipino girl Lilet’s childhood comes to an abrupt end when her mother sells her - and her virginity - to a man. Lilet crawls into a shell of hardness and sarcasm while dreaming of being Snow White and being awakened from her evil dream with a kiss. Social worker Clare tries to get her away from prostitution and street life, but it is a challenge to leave the only kind of life you’ve ever known. Jacco Groen’s insistent film gets up close with images that are ugly and beautiful at the same time in all their relentless horror. You feel the urge to reach out through the screen and save Lilet - just like Clare is naively trying to do. Knowing only too well that, unfortunately, her story is far from unique. And therefore needs to be told.

LILET NEVER HAPPENED Netherlands, UK, Philippines 2012, 105 min. English Subtitles Director: Jacco Groen / Cast: Sandy Talag, Johanna ter Steege, Timothy Mabalot / Distr.: Media Luna Films

Little Black Spiders Patrice Toye. 14 years +

The summer of 1978 in Belgium. 17-year-old orphan Catherine arrives at a remote home for young girls who are expecting. Some are ashamed, most just want to put the teenage pregnancy behind them and get on with their youth, but Catherine is looking forward to starting a family. The father, however, is already married and Katharina begins to suspect that it may not be up to her at all, whether she can keep the baby or not. The girls are making close bonds and friendships, and this sisterly solidarity becomes their protection against the harsh reality that awaits them outside. “Little Black Spiders” is a quiet but captivating drama, stylistically related to Peter Weir’s “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and Sofia Coppola’s “The virgin Suicides”.

Mud

Jeff Nichols. 14 years + One day, on a desert island in the Mississippi delta, two boys find a desperate, charismatic man (Matthew McConaughey), who is hiding from bounty hunters. He calls himself Mud and urges the boys to help him get in touch with the love of his life (Reese Witherspoon), who lives in the neighbouring town. It all sounds a bit too fantastic to the boys, but they become absorbed in Mud’s story, although it is unclear what is true and what is false. Mark Twain’s story universe runs like a strong undercurrent through this suspense-packed drama, but it is far from sentimental. The film is directed by Jeff Nichols, one of the most interesting names around right now, who also made the hypnotic ‘Take Shelter’.

The Boys Camp

Cathrine Asmussen. 10 years + Many children find it hard to fit in. They are bullied and shunned. Maybe they look different or behave differently. Maybe they had a difficult upbringing or come from a home where they didn’t get sufficient support and care. In ‘The Boys Camp’, the experienced documentarist Cathrine Asmussen comes close to a group of boys who are going on a five-day summer camp organised by Save the Children. They all have in common that they don’t have an easy life. At the summer camp they get an opportunity to find new friends and break the negative patterns and mechanisms that characterise their lives. Some succeed, while others find it too difficult to assume new roles. A fine and honest insight into the sometimes difficult childhood.

Approved for Adoption Jung, Laurent Boileau. 13 years +

Together with director Laurent Boileau, cartoonist Jung Henin has filmed his comic tale about growing up as a Korean adoptee in a Belgian family. As an adult, Jung returns to his country of origin to find his biological roots. Like many other South Korean children he was adopted as a small child to a new life in Europe. A life that both the adopted child and the parents must learn to navigate over time. ‘Approved for Adoption’ alternates between childhood memories drawn in Jung’s personal style and video footage from growing up in Belgium, as well as from Jung’s journey back to South Korea as a 42-year-old, in an ambivalent search for identity and belonging. A gentle, imaginative and poetic film.

Blackfish

Gabriela Cowperthwaite. 14 years + On 24 February 2010, the police in Orlando, Florida, receive an emergency call that a killer whale at Sea World had eaten one of the trainers. How could this happen? In this nail-biting documentary thriller, director Gabriela Cowperthwaite goes behind the scenes of a multi-billion dollar industry that makes money using killer whales and dolphins as entertainment in large-scale dressage shows. Through interviews with former coaches and marine biologists, the tragedy - which turns out not to be an isolated case - is scrutinised in an effort to understand the mysterious and fascinating animals. A harrowing and moving film that focuses on our relationship with nature and reveals just how little we’ve actually learned from these intelligent mammals.

How To Make Money Selling Drugs Matthew Cooke. 14 years +

From the pusher on the street who is struggling to support his family, to the drug lord who earns millions in no time. From the drug cop determined to make as many arrests as possible in order to maintain the high budgets, to the politician whose re-election is secured as long as he implements more austerity measures against drug crimes. The documentary ‘How To Make Money Selling Drugs’ does not tread softly when it shows what it takes to produce, sell and make a living off illegal drugs in the United States - and what the consequences are. Through a provocative premise, the film goes through the stages, from the lowest ranks of the hierarchy to the top of the system, and reveals a deeply rotten police system, whose efforts just seem to worsen the situation.

Valentine Road

Marta Cunningham. 14 years + A school shooting in California in February 2008 was followed by an intense debate. Not that there were many victims, but because the victim was who he was. 15-year-old Larry King was a very feminine boy who was not afraid of flaunting his femininity. He was shot twice in the head by a classmate in the middle of class, but why? What had been going on between them? Did it have something to do with the shooter’s flirt with neo-Nazism? In this in-depth documentary, director Marta Cunningham tries to understand the motivations and emotions of the people involved - to see the nuances of a tragic incident that has otherwise lead many people to react sharply and unreflectingly pass judgement on one side or the other. A harrowing true story from God’s own country.

But when fate brings Albert and Sofie together, everything changes.

But Woolfert the wolf is in love with Sheela the sheep, so trouble starts brewing. The young boy Dennis is dragged into his older brother’s gang conflict in the animated ‘The Shadow Animal’, which mixes magic realism with tough ganglands.

Father and Son - Shorts 8 years + Total Running Time: 75 min. 8 years +

The boy Magnus is something of a hockey talent, but is struggling with problems at home. His father drinks, but is not willing to admit it, and this takes its toll on the relationship between Magnus’s parents. The short film ‘On Thin Ice’, written by René Toft Simonsen, gives us a sobering insight into being a child in an alcoholic family and the conflicts of loyalties that often come with it. ‘Weekend Dad’ is a different, more witty take on the difficult father-son relationship. The film is a lively, almost prankish, road movie about Sune and his divorced father, who in a clumsy attempt to get a little closer to his son takes him on a survival trip to the Swedish forest. But nothing turns out as expected, of course!

The little vampire Kali wants to have children just like everybody else, but how do you go about it when you are driven by a lust for blood? A bleak but beautiful animation. Why is it ok to kill some animals but not others? The film asks this question with an understated sense of humour and an enthusiastic discussion of ethics that is suitable for children. The young boy Mimoun faces a dilemma when he must choose between his loyalty to a criminal older brother and the girl he is in love with. There is plenty of quirky Wes Anderson humour in the story about the precocious Henry who sweeps to the top as an elite student when he gets a pair of glasses and at the same time captures the interest of the girl Polly. During the Great Depression, there are almost no jobs to be had, but nothing can beat a small boy’s imagination.

German “Rhino Full Throttle” is a romantic Berlin story, where animation and live action are combined in imaginative ways. In the black-humoured and anxiety-provoking “Rabbitland”, we meet the “happy” rabbits, who are living in a nightmarish society. Pitch-black elements can also be found in the Finnish “So It Goes” about the odd friendship between the pessimist Elli and her boss’s happy and cheerful son. The theme of the animation “Ninja & Soldier” is war - for some children just a game, for others terrifying reality. Icelandic ‘Mindbroken’ is a disturbing tale about a young man who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Prejudice and political correctness are put on display in “Whaled Women”, where strange creatures appear and are to be integrated into society.

Meet the little baby bird who sets out on an adventure, but realises that the big world out there can sometimes be a little bit frightening. There is also the sheep who decides to jump the fence and run away from home - but it is more fun if you are actually going to be missed. And then there’s the owl Lage, who leaves the dark forest and moves into town. However, it can be hard to get used to the big city crowds, when you are just a forest owl. The films are based on director Eva Lindström’s successful Swedish children’s books, which she has also illustrated. In a strange and wonderfully childlike way, they manage to combine everyday generalities with something fantastic.

Mr and Mrs Dog have baked two delicious cakes, because all the animals are going for a picnic. But when they get there, the cakes are gone someone has stolen them! Fortunately, the little fox has found out who the thieves are. It is the devious duo Lizard and Frog. But it turns out to be quite a task to catch the two thieves - especially when all of Fox’s ingenious traps backfire. Will Fox succeed in revealing Lizard and Frog and save the picnic? In the film ‘Monster Box’ a girl visits an old man who builds birdhouses. She wants to buy a box for her pet, who, however, is far from well behaved. The old man gets more than he bargained for when the girl shows up with more monsters, which are not that easy to handle.

The Flame and the Cotton Ball live on each side of the great river. One lives in a black, ash-filled landscape of fire and brimstone, the other lives in a soft, white and fluffy land of cotton wool. One day they meet, and although they are as different as chalk and cheese, they become good friends. But the other cotton balls do not like Flame, and it’s not very safe to be near each other when one can easily burn ones friend to cinders. Will their friendship be able to overcome prejudices and dangerous differences? On a small planet under a large intergalactic highway live the two aliens Mops and Ollie, and they are playing with all the exciting waste that comes flying down from above. But one day, things almost go wrong.

RETROSPECTIVE: PER HOLST

Per Holst: A giant in Danish children’s cinema Both at home and abroad, Denmark is said to make the world’s best children and youth films. Part of the credit for this reputation can be given to film producer Per Holst, who has played a crucial part as the producer of ‘Tree of Knowledge’, ‘Zappa’ and many other masterpieces in this genre. It is for his invaluable contribution to Danish children and youth films that BUSTER honours Per Holst with this year’s retrospective series. During his over 40 years in the industry, Per Holst has produced over 50 films and is regarded as one of Denmark’s most innovative and significant producers. Constantly on the lookout for new talent, he has helped developing directors like Jannik Hastrup, Nils Malmros and Bille

August. Together with the latter, Per Holst received an Oscar for ‘Pelle the Conqueror’ in 1989. In spite of his long career, Per Holst is still going strong and has recently added ‘Jungle Jack’ and ‘Max Embarrassing’ to the Danish national film heritage. BUSTER invites you for a reunion with four of the best children and youth films from the past decades, all of which bear Per Holst’s unmistakable fingerprint. Enjoy! Per Holst will be present at both screenings of ‘Jungle Jack’ and will answer questions from the audience.

Jungle Jack

Stefan Fjeldmark, Flemming Quist Møller. 5 years + To Danish children, Jungle Jack hardly needs any further introduction. Deep inside the rain forest, this little furry guy is living a carefree life, until he is one day caught by film star Izabella, who wants him to be in her next movie. Jack escapes, hidden in a sack of bananas on a cargo ship, and ends up in the middle of a vibrant metropolis. City-fox Rita crosses his path, and together they try to get Jack back to his beloved jungle. This year’s retrospective series is dedicated to producer Per Holst, who has brought all three movies about Jungle Jack to the big screen. We show the first film, which with 350.000 sold tickets was a big hit in Denmark. Have a joyful reunion with the incomparable Jack at the film’s 20th anniversary - vulle vulle vap vap!

The Monkeys and the Secret Weapon Jannik Hastrup. 6 years +

Out in the jungle live the two rival monkey families Weismüller and Attila. An old war, caused by the secret weapon, has created a serious feud between them. So when the little monkeys Hector and Elvira, each from a different family, fall in love, the conflict is about to explode again. To stay together, they must make peace between the families. But can they put a lid on the feud that has been going on for as long as any monkey can remember? ‘The Monkeys and the Secret Weapon’ is a humorous animation that boldly discusses the nature of war on a children’s level. The film has the same socially critical tone that producer Per Holst and director Jannik Hastrup have previously explored with success in the films ‘War of the Birds’ and ‘Benny’s Bathtub’.

Tsatsiki, Mum and the Policeman Ella Lemhagen. 6 years +

8-year-old Tsatsiki lives in Stockholm with his mother, who dreams of becoming a rock star. Tsatsiki, on the other hand, dreams of becoming an octopus catcher like his Greek father, whom he has never met. But sometimes dreams come true in other ways than expected. To prepare for the day he will meet his father, Tsatsiki is practicing to hold his breath under water in the public swimming pool. But one day it almost goes wrong. In the last minute, he is rescued by the policeman Göran, who later rents a room at the house of Tsatsiki and his mother. Before long, the boy is trying to hook his mother up with the new tenant. The film is a sweet and charming family comedy about a young boy who tries to come to terms with both his own identity and his single mother.

Evil

Mikael Håfström. 12 years + The adaptation of Jan Guillou’s autobiographic bestseller ‘Evil’ is a bleak and gripping portrayal of a boy’s tough upbringing in 1950s Sweden. After several violent incidents in the school yard, 16-year-old Erik is sent to boarding school. Here, the oldest students reign with a firm hand according to rules inherited through generations. Erik refuses to obey, which has disastrous consequences for himself and everyone around him. Without compromise, the film portrays the sadism within power hierarchies and discusses whether violence in self-defense may be the answer to the unfair treatment of the weakest. The film is co-produced by Per Holst, this year’s retrospective guest at BUSTER, and was deservedly nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film.

BUSTER VISITS GERMANY

BUSTER visits Germany A new tradition is introduced at BUSTER this year: every year from now on, we will focus on a specific European country. This year, BUSTER has chosen Germany and will therefore show a number of German films. Some of the films will be shown in their original language without subtitles, and are aimed at classes learning German, while the youngest audience members can enjoy films with Danish voices. The main aim is to learn more about our neighbour down south, its film industry, language and traditions. For example, you can come and hear a presentation on German history or taste the famous German currywurst.

Patty’s Catchup Tina von Traben. 13 years +

If there is one thing Germans love, then it is their currywurst! But not the teenage girl Patty. She dreams of a career as an international chef and most of all just wants to get away from the family’s old sausage stand. When her mother is forced to go on a convalescence stay, Patty gets her big chance at a fine restaurant. But the greedy uncle tries to snatch the family’s secret recipe for sausage ketchup - and Patty has to choose between her family and her own dreams. Which might not be so difficult, when it comes down to it. ‘Patty’s Catchup’ is a warm comedy with funny characters and a project one can’t avoid to cheer for wholeheartedly - no matter if one likes currywurst or not.

POMMES ESSEN Germany 2012, 86 min. English Subtitles Director: Tina von Traben / Distr.: Media Luna Films

Skateboarding - The Forbidden Sport Total Running Time: 105 min. 13 years +

Learn about German history at Sigrid Jørgensen’s lecture and see the film ‘This Ain’t California’. Before the screening there will be a presentation by Sigrid Jørgensen, a lecturer at Bagsvaerd boarding and grammar school. In order to properly understand what was at stake in 1980s Germany, it is important to know about life on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Who was friend and who was foe? What was the purpose of professional sports in the GDR? What hobbies did the youth have, and what music was ‘approved’? In other words: it adds an extra dimension to know about the GDR’s history before watching the film.

This Ain’t California

Not only did they build their own skateboards when they where kids, they also invented their own tricks and filmed it all - in 1980s GDR, without

knowing much about what was going on in the world on the western side of the wall. A group of young boys who skated away on Alexanderplatz on their homemade skateboards. First to the authorities’ great dismay, but later as an officially recognised socialist ‘sport’! Rushing across the asphalt, they battled for fun and freedom in a world of concrete and finger-wagging, where rules were made to be broken. ‘This Ain’t California’ is a terrific and insightful documentary about skateboarders in the old GDR - with equal parts speed, excitement and history lesson.

The Wave

Dennis Gansel. 14 years + Grammar school teacher Rainer gets the idea that he wants to test his students. He asks them whether a dictatorship like the Third Reich could happen again. The students believe that people have become wiser since then - but have they really? Heavy discussions ensue and before anyone knows it, the students themselves are creating the perfect environment in their newly founded movement they have named “The Wave”. Most students engage themselves fully, while those who question the project are pushed out into the cold. Only very late in the process, Rainer realises what is going on - and chooses to use the students’ disturbing commitment in the ultimate test. ‘The Wave’ is an alarming thriller based on a real experiment in the 1960s United States.

The Suicide Shop Patrice Leconte. 13 years +

“Death guaranteed or your money back”. That is the motto of the familyrun suicide shop that sells all sorts of paraphernalia that can help the weary out of their misery. A global epidemic of depression has followed in the wake of the economic crisis and suicide numbers have exploded. However, one should say goodbye to life in style, thinks Mishima, whose business is flourishing. But when his sad family gets a latecomer baby, everything is turned upside down. The new baby is in fact a walking ray of sunshine, who brings joy wherever he goes. And that is bad for business! This Tim Burton-esque animation musical is both morbidly funny, original and thought-provoking. Yes, you have to be something of a dead fish not to find this film larger than life.

Dumbo at Circus Dannebrog Total Running Time: 64 min. All ages

Let the smell of sawdust guide you and enjoy a unique experience when Circus Dannebrog opens its tent for two special screenings of the 1941 classic ‘Dumbo’. After the screening, you can take a look at the big animals on the circus lot and try to ride a real elephant. The ride costs 30 DKK.

Dumbo

For older generations, this will be a wonderful, nostalgic reunion and for the younger ones an unforgettable experience. Only the fourth animated feature film made by Disney, this is a moving classic children’s tale about the outsider who misses his mother. The little elephant with the big ears must go through an awful lot before he realises that his physical deformity can be turned into an asset. Admittedly, ‘Dumbo’ is now a 72-year-old elephant, but the thick-skinned little heartbreaker is in no way marked by age. To this day, he flies straight into hearts of both young and old. So do not miss the opportunity for a unique experience when BUSTER makes it possible for children’s families to watch the fairy tale film in its deserved environment - namely the circus!

DUMBO USA 1941, 64 min. Danish Version Director: Ben Sharpsteen / Distr.: Disney & Sony Pictures

Contemporary Circus for children and youth - film & workshop Total Running Time: 105 min. 8 years +

Come and experience contemporary circus head-on, as we show 2 episodes of ‘Cirkusliv i Savsmuld’ (‘Circus Life in Sawdust’) by the Danish children’s TV channel Ramasjang, followed by the opportunity to try out different circus acts at Ørkenfortet. When summer is replaced with the cold winds of winter, the circus director and Signe move into the sawdust arena and swing the circus soul around in stardust. Buffoonery and fantasy are the trademarks of winter life at Circus Summarum. Together with his artistes, the circus director prepares for next summer’s show. He is very pleased when two black artistes from Afrani turn up unannounced at his circus in the episode ‘Artistes from Afrani’. In ‘Miranda Walks with Four Shoes’, the circus director would love to throw all the children, which Signe dreams of having, up in the air, but first she has to learn to put four shoes on the horse Miranda.

After the screening, which takes place in AFUK’s own cinema, you can participate in a workshop with Ørkenfortet’s talented contemporary circus artistes. Contemporary circus is pure poetry and Herculean grace - and to top it all, it’s really funny! At the workshop, the children are introduced to both circus and theatre. They will work on three different platforms with trapeze artistry, floor acrobatics and juggling. They will spend 20 minutes with each discipline, and everyone will get the chance to try it all out, so come and be a circus artiste for a day!

Circus fun at Filmbyen Total Running Time: 381 min. All ages

In connection with Vestegnens Kulturuge, BUSTER in collaboration with the Circus Museum and Hvidovre municipality is focusing on all things circus. There is no need to register for the activities, so just show up and see the animated feature ‘Freddy Frogface’, try your hand at challenging circus tricks or make your own flea film! All activities are open and don’t require prior registration. Film: Freddy Frogface

Freddy Frogface

The author Ole Lund Kirkegaard is Danish national heritage. Several of his beloved books have already been adapted to the silver screen in the days when daddy was a little boy, and all children love his imaginative universes, comical characters and whimsical entanglements. Last year - more than 30 years later - ‘Freddy Frogface’ once again appeared in a beautiful, computer-animated version: Victor, his friend Jacob and the dog Sausage get plenty to do when they hatch plans to once and for all get rid of the mean, bullying bastard Freddy Frogface. When the circus is in town, anything can happen - so get prepared for flying cannonballs and all sorts of monkey business in this crazy adventure. 10.00 hrs in the Auditorium in Filmbyen: free of charge

Workshop: Circus Games at the Circus Museum

Let the film’s universe inspire you and try a hand at being a circus performer. At the workshop, you can have a go at anything from juggling to trapeze acrobatics under the expert guidance of the Circus Museum’s own circus performer. This takes place in the fencing hall, which is set up specifically for circus activities, and all props will be available. The circus fun is for children of all ages, and you decide yourself, if you want to participate during the entire event or just want to enjoy a taster. The circus fun is included in the entrance fee to the museum, where you among other things can see the exhibition on flea circuses. 13.00 to 14.30 hrs in the fencing hall (Fægtesalen), Circus Museum

Workshop: Animation workshop with circus fleas

A flea circus is not a hoax, but was a major attraction in the 19th and 20th century, and back in the old days you could experience a true flea circus at funfairs such as Tivoli. The trained human fleas were extremely strong, and therefore small props were made, so that the fleas for example could push a cart or ride a bike. Explore the Circus Museum’s fine flea circus show and get inspired, if you want to be a flea circus director for a day. You can paint your own fleas and props, and bring them to life through stop motion animation. 10.00 to 15.00 hrs at the Circus Museum, 1st floor

MANGA

Plenty of Manga Manga is the special Japanese comic style, which has taken the world by storm - and now also BUSTER. We are dedicating this series to films, workshops, presentations and an exhibition, which all pay tribute to Manga. The father of modern Manga is Osamu Tezuka, and his comic book universe is at the centre of the film programme and exhibition at the Storm P. Museum. The series has been made possible thanks to the support of the City of Frederiksberg’s Department of Culture and Leisure.

Manga drawing Total Running Time: 210 min. 7 years +

Now is your chance to become a real ‘Mangaka’ (comic creator). In this workshop, you will learn how to draw in the unique style of Japanese Manga comics. The day begins with the screening of an Anime short as an inspiration for the workshop. ‘Anime’ means animation and is the cinematic version of Manga. The Manga genre is very much inspired by the cinematic narrative style, as it is told entirely through pictures and dialogue, but with no explanatory text. Like film, Manga works with all sorts of genres, including action, drama, sci-fi, horror and romance.

In the workshop, the illustrator Martin N. Henningsen will show us how to draw Manga. He will focus on how to build a character, and especially the face, which in Manga is characterised by flat features and big eyes, while noses and mouths are kept small. Martin has taught Manga drawing for almost 10 years and has worked as an illustrator for the likes of Lego. He now works for the games industry, where he draws and makes graphics.

The master of Manga - films, exhibitions and a drawing workshop Total Running Time: 154 min. 7 years +

Take a look at the Manga master Osamu Tezuka’s universe when BUSTER and the Storm P. Museum invite you to a film screening, exhibition and drawing workshop! After the screening at Frederiksberg Church, we proceed to the Storm P. Museum where you can explore a retrospective exhibition on the influential, world-renowned Japanese Manga artist Osamu Tezuka. There will be a brief introduction to the exhibition, and afterwards you can explore it on your own and get an insight into Tezuka’s great stylistic range: from his child-friendly and adventurous stories like ‘Astro Boy’ and ‘Loop Knight’ to his epic and philosophical works such as ‘Adolf’ and ‘Phoenix’. The exhibition consists of 65 works, a series of short films and film clips, a reading corner with Tezuka’s Manga series, and a drawing and QR-code treasure hunt for children.

Japanese manga master Ozamu Tezuka’s beloved cartoon about the robot boy Astro Boy is reproduced in dazzling computer animation in this fast-paced adventure for both young and old. When the scientist Temma loses his son, he desperately tries to recreate him. The result is Astro Boy, a robot modelled on his son, endowed with superpowers. But the father realises that the robot boy can not replace his dead son. When Metro City’s power-hungry president comes into possession of a powerful weapon, our hero must take up the fight to save the city - and hopefully be reunited with his father. ‘Astro Boy’ is inspired by both ‘Pinocchio’ and ‘Frankenstein’ and is a breathtaking visual acquaintance that you shouldn’t miss. ASTRO BOY Hong Kong, USA, Japan 2009, 94 min. Danish Voice Over Director: David Bowers / Distr.: Lions gate

Jungle Emperor Leo Yoshio Takeuchi. 8 years +

Like his magnum opus ‘Astro Boy’, Tezuka Osamu’s manga comic book from the 1950s about the somewhat cowardly little white lion has been turned into several feature films and has also enjoyed its own TV series. In this latest version from 2009, Leo dreams of becoming as strong and brave as his father Panja. The animals live in a man-made jungle that is controlled by the scientist Oyama, who claims that he will save them from extinction. But when it turns out that he has a hidden agenda, the animals must stand together and Leo finally shows what he is made of. Fortunately, they get help from Oyama’s son Kenichi, who can talk to animals. A kind of ‘Lion King’ meets ‘Jurassic Park’ with a relevant message about the importance of taking good care of nature.

Motion Comic 1-2-3 Total Running Time: 180 min. 8 years +

Motion comic is a unique genre that combines elements of comic books and animation. It can best be described as ‘a living comic book’. In this workshop, you will create your very own motion comic using pictures, effects, and music. The key element in the workshop, which consists of backgrounds, characters and props, is a brand-new, Manga-inspired

universe, and by composing and combining still images consecutively, you create a film sequence. You decide what story you want to tell. What about the princess in the castle or the evil vampire at the cemetery? Illustrations: Jan Kjær

Motion Comic - the living comic book Total Running Time: 300 min. 10 years +

Motion Comic is a unique genre that combines elements of comic books and animation, and by continuously combining still images creates a film sequence. Images, sounds and words are the key elements as students create their own motion comic, and their sense of storytelling, picture composition, sound, music and timing is challenged! In this school workshop, students work with a good story and are encouraged to play and experiment with narrative structure, picture composition, sound effects, editing and speech. The basic material is the Manga universe, which makes it possible to work with different genres such as adventure or horror. The workshop introduces cinematic tools that are used in film, TV and advertising, and the students acquire the tools that they can subsequently use to create their own IT-based productions or as analytical tools.

Preparation:

After signing up to the workshop, the teacher receives training material that also contains a number of student sheets with exercises that strengthen the students’ understanding of character development, genre knowledge, picture composition and the storytelling model. In addition, students must prepare a storyboard that they should bring to the workshop. We suggest that the students work in groups of 2 to 3 people. 4 to 6 lessons should be devoted as preparation for this workshop. Illustrations: Jan Kjær

MANGA

Metropolis Rintaro. 14 years +

The basis for this adaptation, Tezuka Osamu’s cartoon from 1949, was modelled on Fritz Lang’s classic silent film from 1927 of the same name. The film is a more modern reinterpretation, and has drawn inspiration from other science fiction heavyweights such as ‘Blade Runner’. We are in a futuristic big city where humans and robots coexist. The robots are treated as second-class people, and when one of them is shot down in the street, an ingenious detective mystery gets going, involving both hard-boiled private detectives, mad scientists, a special anti-robot movement and the city’s unofficial ruler Duke Red, who has insidious plans. An amazing, impressive and imaginative sci-fi thriller.

BUSTER FOR REAL - PHILOSOPHY

BUSTER for real: Philosophy BUSTER is this year focusing on philosophy as part of a collaboration with ‘Golden Days Festival - Philosophy Now!’ The joint events will make philosophy accessible to children, and historical thinkers will be introduced together with topics such as time, freedom and death. All of these topics will be dealt with in a series of films and events, which sharpen ones attention and give rise to philosophical thoughts. For example, you can join a tour at the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) and experience its exhibition on freedom. Or you can meet a true Kierkegaard enthusiast at the presentation by the actor and comedian Claus Damgaard.

A Close Encounter With Death Total Running Time: 106 min. 8 years +

BUSTER puts death in focus with a short film programme and a tour around the Funebarium. After the screening you can join us on a tour of the National Association of Life & Death’s knowledge centre Funebarium, where you can get answers to questions like why we say ‘undertaker’ or ‘hearse’. And what actually happens when you die? Come and learn more about how you can say a proper farewell to the dead and get the opportunity to write a personal greeting on a coffin.

Hope, Faith, and Batman

In the Danish ‘Faith, Hope and Batman’, Christian’s father dies of cancer, and he is suddenly forced to deal with grief.

When Life Departs

Death is seen from unusual and peculiar angles as a number of children share their thoughts on the subject in the Oscar nominated animation “When Life Departs”.

Duck, Death and The Tulip

A subtle and poetic adaptation of a touching children’s book about a duck who gets a visit from Death.

Dog in Heaven

In the imaginative ‘Dog in Heaven’, Lora refuses to say a last farewell to her beloved pet, and in protest she decides to become a dog herself.

Legacy

We get a witty, yet good insight into the funeral traditions of different cultures when a girl sends her mouse out on its last journey.

The Treasure

The German animation ‘The Treasure’ tackles the subjects of death and the passing of the seasons in a nice little story about a girl and her grandfather.

BUSTER FOR REAL - PHILOSOPHY

A Question of Freedom Total Running Time: 95 min. 8 years +

Where does freedom come from? And is freedom a game? These are just some of the questions that BUSTER will try to answer when we in cooperation with the National Gallery of Denmark discuss the concept of freedom and show the film ‘Momo, the Conquest of Time’. After the screening there will be an introduction to the National Gallery’s Children’s exhibition ‘Freedom!’ that marks the 200th birthday of the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. Through significant art works, imagination and inspired thought, the visitors are invited to explore the concept of freedom - like Kierkegaard himself did.

Momo, the Conquest of Time

In this imaginative animated version of Michael Ende’s famous children’s book, we meet the girl Momo, who together with the turtle Kassiopeia must fight against the gray men who steal people’s time. It is a classic tale of good versus evil, but also an excellent allegory of the time-obsessed culture we live in. For time is money, and, paradoxically, the more time we try to save, the more busy and stressful we seem to become. In this lively adventure, the director of ‘Super Cat Zorba’ takes up major philosophical issues such as time, freedom and choice, but in a light and playful way so that children can also participate. And everything is told in colourful and adventurous, cool and laid back animation.

Welcome to Sophie’s World

Total Running Time: 143 min. 12 years +

BUSTER invites you to a reunion with the film version of ‘Sophie’s World’. Before the screening, we will introduce you to some philosophical thinking. Actor, comedian and Kierkegaard buff Claus Damgaard will give a presentation of Soren Kierkegaard’s universe in a very unusual way and get your philosophical thinking started before the film. Read more about Claus Damgaard on www.ENTEN-ELLER.dk.

Sophie’s World

The world is opened up to 14-year-old Sophie when she is one day suddenly contacted by philosopher Alberto Knox, who takes her on a whirlwind tour through the history of philosophy. On this adventure, she meets all the great thinkers in search of life’s existential questions: Who am I, where does the world come from and what is the meaning of it all? In the Norwegian film adaptation of Jostein Gaarder’s popular novel, we come across Socrates, Sartre, and not least Denmark’s own Soren Kierkegaard, as no philosophical stone is left unturned. An instructive and imaginative journey around the corners of the mind that provides food for thought through an exciting story.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS

BUSTER gives it a go: Workshops for Teachers True to tradition, BUSTER offers a series of different and exciting workshops that are tailor-made for teachers, librarians and pre-school staff. The aim of our workshops is to provide creative inspiration, mediate professional terminology and methods as well as to introduce various IT tools, which equip teachers to work with aesthetic teaching processes in a digital setting in the classroom. These teacher workshops require no prerequisite knowledge, so come and join us and learn how to produce apps, computer games or animations.

Animation in the classroom Total Running Time: 240 min.

In cooperation with the school service of FILM-X, BUSTER is offering this teacher training course with a special focus on the techniques of stopmotion and cut out animation, known from films such as ‘Cirkeline’ and ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. For many years, FILM-X has offered practical film courses to schools - including the use of stop-motion animation. This course aims to inspire teachers to introduce animation production in the classroom, in order for filmmaking to become a part of the students’ daily life. You will be introduced to simple and effective animation techniques in a combination of demonstrations and practical exercises. During the course, participants produce short films with an online animation tool

designed specifically for children, which is free for schools to use. You are also provided with tools on how to plan your film using scripts and storyboards, and how to develop characters and universes. At the course, the school service of FILM-X will hold an inspiring presentation on how the practical animation programme can support the school’s academic goals and the diversity in students’ skills. There will also be feedback and inspiration for teachers who have already started working with animation with their students. The tutors are the animators Tina Klemmensen and Kari Eggert Rysgaard from FILM-X.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS

AppLab: design, learning and applications Total Running Time: 180 min.

There are thousands of apps made for the many subjects taught at school. There are apps for entertainment, learning, planning, or those that are used as an important tool for everyday communication with the students. But how can young people themselves be designers and build their own simple apps, and how are they used as a relevant learning tool in the classroom? In this workshop, teachers will gain insight into apps and the programme App Inventor, which gives students and teachers the opportunity to develop their own apps in an easy and exciting way. We start by introducing the various apps, including specific apps for learning, and how these can be used in the classroom. In this workshop, we will show you that apps are not only available in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s App Store, and everyone will be introduced to the free programme App Inventor and see how this programme can be integrated into the syllabus. The participants go

through the technology behind an application, and are taught methods for how one can integrate idea development, app design and artistic and creative skills into IT learning. During the workshop, we will jointly discuss what role apps play in learning, what the opportunities of a mobile phone are for teaching, media didactics and digital education, as well as what role applications play in everyday life and in learning contexts. Note: it is an advantage to have a Gmail account, as this can be used as a log-in to the programme. You do not need to have a smartphone to participate in the workshop. The programme App Inventor can not be used to make apps for the iPhone, but participants gain insight into the way apps are designed and built.

Computer game development Total Running Time: 180 min.

Regardless of age, many people play games these days. This takes place on many different platforms, from the mobile phone to the computer, and includes learning games, strategy games and racing games! It is a myth that the gaming world is mostly for boys. In fact, 47% of all people playing digital games are female. 1/3 of all game developers are women, and the number is rising! So come and take part in this workshop, which will give you an insight into how you can create a computer game from scratch. The day begins with an introduction on how game development can be used in the classroom, where you can work with themes, genres and languages. We will discuss computers and the technical background knowledge behind the logic of game development, so that everyone will be

better equipped to face the challenges that students may encounter during game production. We will also take a close look at systems and at what makes games work, providing a positive impetus to the learning process, before the participants are thrown into making a quick learning game. We use a simple freeware programme for game production, which makes it easy to reproduce the workshop in the classroom. Remember a USB key if you want to take your production home with you. The workshop is offered in cooperation with the games development school Spilduviklings-Skole.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS

Claymation with Rony Oren Total Running Time: 180 min. 8 years +

Claymation, where you shape figures in colourful plasticine, is a classic animation technique known from ‘Postman Pat’ and ‘Chicken Run’, and it is a technique that we will explore in this teacher’s workshop. The workshop’s teacher, Rony Oren, who last came to BUSTER in 2008, is professor of animation at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, and is known for his fine claymations for films and TV series. Rony has also published a book named ‘Secrets of Clay’. In the workshop, you are given an introduction on how you can introduce film production in the classroom in an easy and informative way with claymation. We start with the technology behind claymation, and Rony offers tips and ideas on how to shape the figures so that they are suitable to animate. The

group is divided into five teams, and each team must make its own film. You must develop an idea for the film’s story, model the characters and props as well as create the backgrounds, after which you can get going with the actual animation through stop motion technique. The films are posted on YouTube at the end of the workshop. Animation production strengthens both the creative and technical abilities of the students, and can therefore be used within almost all subjects and topics at school. Some subjects are particularly relevant to animation, e.g. Danish, visual arts, religion, history and languages.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS: WEEKDAYS

BUSTER gives it a go: Workshops: Weekdays At BUSTER’s media academy you and your class can give the production of digital media a go. In these intensive workshops, the pupils get the opportunity to create their very own media productions, be it an animation, a computer game or how about a mobile app? Among the brand new workshops, which we have spent all of this spring developing, we can for example name ‘Motion Comic - a living comic book’, ‘Theatre Lab in a digital setting’ and ‘Pixilation - animate yourself!’. Educational material has been developed for a number of these workshops, and it is expected that the classes come to the workshops prepared.

Animate with clay Total Running Time: 240 min. 9 years +

Create beautiful, colourful characters in plasticine and bring them to life in this animation workshop, where the students get to work with both the creative and technical processes behind an animated film. ‘Claymation’ is a classic animation technique, known from animations such as ‘Postman Pat’ and ‘Wallace and Gromit’, and this is the technique which we explore in this workshop. Our talented animators guide the students through the entire process. On Monday and Tuesday, BUSTER will also welcome the renowned Israeli animator Rony Oren to the festival. The workshop will start off by showing some inspiring film extracts, and afterwards the students can throw themselves at producing an actual film. After brainstorming a story they want to tell, they model their characters and create props and backgrounds, before embarking on the actual filming using the stop-motion method. The method is a time-consuming process, which provides an insight into the technique behind animation production.

Animation production is a creative learning process, which invites you to work with a school subject or topic (e.g. Danish, visual arts, religion, history or one of the languages) in an entirely different way. If you want to work with a particular subject / topic, please contact BUSTER ahead of the workshop.

Preparation:

Before the workshop, the teacher will receive a document with suggestions on how the students can prepare for the workshop. There will be links to example films and an assignment where the students must develop the story they would like to animate. The class should be divided into five teams.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS: WEEKDAYS

Design and make apps with AppLab! Total Running Time: 270 min. 10 years +

There are thousands of apps for every purpose, be it for entertainment, learning, planning or information. If you are interested in designing and producing your own app in a fun and creative way, then come and join this workshop. You don’t even need to have a smartphone! The workshop is a hands-on process for both girls and boys, and it will teach both the design of apps as well as the programming and simple technology behind an app. The students experience the process from idea development to design and programming, based on their own visual expression. It is easy to develop apps as a relevant learning tool in the classroom, where the students both learn to reflect and collaborate on topics such as the opportunities of the mobile phone, media behaviour, digital education, the technology of the future, and what role apps play in their everyday lives.

The students don’t need to own a smartphone, as the entire course is done online, and the programme has a smartphone simulator that shows what the finished app looks like on the computer. The programme is developed for designing apps for android phones, so participants can not see their apps on iPhones.

Preparation:

1. Students should previously have thought of examples of apps they like using. 2. Each student should have set up a google account (gmail) before the workshop, as this gives access to the programme itself, which is free of charge. 3. There will be a topic for the workshop, which the teacher is informed about beforehand.

Design your own computer game Total Running Time: 300 min. 10 years +

Games for the mobile, iPad or computer. Games for education, entertainment, strategy, sports or learning. There are many possibilities, and everyone can join in! It is both entertaining and challenging to develop games because you strengthen your creative, logical and analytic skills. The workshop starts with a short introduction to the technology and the programme that is being used. Afterwards, the students can brainstorm, sketch out different ideas and flesh out the plot of the game, and then dive into making the actual game. Game development strengthens the students’ logical thinking, because they have to deal with the logic of a computer game’s structure, and their mathematical skills, as the programme is built upon x and y graphs. In addition, game production greatly challenges the students’ creative skills, both on a visual and a narrative level, as it is all about creating a game with a high entertainment value, which, with the help of both visual and auditory effects, captures the recipient’s curiosity. And, finally, the students’ analytical skills come into play, as the game should challenge its target audience, while at the same time being neither too easy nor too difficult.

Preparation:

It is possible to choose a theme for the workshop, ranging from anything from a genre like horror to a theme such as ‘World War II’, and it could for example be an extension of a topic that is currently discussed in the classroom. If you have any special requests for a theme, please contact BUSTER in advance of the workshop. Training materials are available, and we recommend that you use your time prior to the workshop to discuss games and what makes them work. Note: students work together in pairs. It is possible to bring ones own computer and headset and to work individually. The workshop is offered in collaboration with the games development school Spiludviklings-Skole.

Motion Comic - the living comic book Total Running Time: 300 min. 10 years +

Preparation:

Pixilation - animate yourself Total Running Time: 300 min. 10 years +

Pixilation is a special animation technique where the characters are “real” people who are animated in combination with various props, ranging from bric-a-brac to food and drink. Students will thus play the main roles in their own animated films. All films generally consist of 24 still images per second, and in animation you have complete control over every single one of them. This is a great responsibility and there is much to consider. But it also provides you with a myriad of opportunities to employ tricks and surreal distortions of “reality” and to create your very own universe. In the workshop, students create their own pixilation film, and gain insight into how the film medium works, both technically and artistically. They learn about dramatic expression and being directed, as well as about working with cinematic methods and narrative processes. The focus is on the aesthetic learning process, and the workshop is to a high degree about cooperation and creativity. At the end of the day, the finished films will be published on YouTube.

Preparation:

Prior to the workshop, the teacher will receive a paper with suggestions on how the students can prepare for the workshop. There will be links to film examples and an assignment where students must develop the story they want to animate. The class should be divided into five teams.

BUSTER GIVES IT A GO - WORKSHOPS: WEEKDAYS

Theatre laboratory in a digital setting Total Running Time: 300 min. 10 years +

The common basic tool for both an actor and an animator are: the human being. The topic of this lab is ‘My Hood’ and the aim is to experiment with the lively toolbox of an actor set against a digitally animated backdrop. The workshop consists of joint theatre exercises: monologues, physical sequences and dialogues that are integrated with animations created with the help of stop motion and pixilation techniques. This creates a total experience of theatre, sound and images, where all students are needed, and both social and artistic skills are developed. The goal of the workshop is to inspire and contribute to a greater awareness of the learning potential at the intersection between different artistic disciplines - in this case between theatre and digital media. The result of the workshop is documented and uploaded onto YouTube.

Preparation:

The students work with their own stories, and inspired by the theme ‘My Hood’, they are asked to bring along an object that characterises their ‘hood’. This can be anything from a pizza tray to a photo, as long as it is related to their ‘hood’ in terms of relationships, attitudes and experiences: My home! My town! Who am I? Where do I come from? What story do I want to tell? The teacher is responsible for ensuring that all students bring along an item from their ‘hood’. You might also choose to incorporate the topic as part of a course. The workshop is developed as a collaboration between Den lille Dramaskole, Loops 360’s animator Luba Lynch and BUSTER.

My personal puzzle documentaries from the lives of youths Total Running Time: 300 min. 11 years +

What is reality in the digital age? TV reportage, documentary portraits and reality series all provide their own version of the person or people they depict. Armed with a mobile phone, the students will be asked to record scenes from their own lives and create their very own self-portrait. Prior to the workshop, the students are asked to shoot their own film scenes, which they will work on in the workshop by using associative editing, music and narration. In the workshop itself, we examine the power of images, and students can experiment with different forms of expression. The aim, among other things, is to teach them how one can play with the film medium and how one can create a visual, personal puzzle through editing techniques. The students are among other things introduced to an accessible editing programme, which they can use for all types of IT-based productions. They learn how to transfer files from their mobile to their computer, how to convert film scenes in the editing programme and how to upload the final result to YouTube.

Preparation:

After signing up for the workshop, the teacher will receive training materials, which also include four student sheets to guide the students when they go out and shoot the raw footage for their personal film. The training material also gives them a thorough introduction to documentary filmmaking, its various genres and styles, as well as extracts from films and practical tasks, which we recommend discussing before the students head out into the field to do their own filming. It is advised to set aside 4 to 6 lessons to prepare for this workshop.

The Little Wild Ones at the Zoological Museum Total Running Time: 80 min. 5 years +

Watch a spider being fed and explore the Zoological Museum’s many exhibitions about wildlife when BUSTER shows the film ‘De små vilde’ at the museum. After the screening, you can join us for a tour of the museum’s special exhibition on spiders. Among other things you will get the chance to see what it looks like when spiders are served their living lunch. You can also explore the Zoological Museum’s many exhibitions on your own and find out how wildlife changes from the North Pole to the South Pole, about life in Denmark after the Ice Age, and you can even see the skeleton of a sperm whale.

The Little Wild Ones

Come and explore nature when a group of children dive into Danish wildlife. The four seasons are the setting for four wild stories. Rogvi and Alexander are down at the pond to look for tadpoles, because the boys are excited to see them develop into frogs. In summer you can catch crabs from the jetty, and Lara is curious to get her hands on such a fellow. When autumn approaches and the cold is coming, the mice move into our houses, which is not always popular - especially not among the adults. It’s not easy being mice, and both the fox and the owl are out to catch them. Karl and his friend are looking for something much bigger, though. They are hunting for “trolls” in the woods, and encounter both deer, birds and animal skulls. A subtle and playful documentary for children.

FILM-X and Red Cross Youth Focus On ‘A Moment That Changes the Future’ Total Running Time: 180 min. 7 years +

In this film workshop, students work in teams to tell a story that is based on a turning point - a moment that will change the future. The class produces its own films in small teams at the FILM-X Studios. Before the workshop, a short film is sent out about a seminal turning point, accompanied by the working premise devised by the Danish Red Cross Youth. This will help to kick off idea development in the classroom. Different materials will be sent to students, depending on whether they are in primary school or secondary school.

The workshop at FILM-X begins with an inspiring presentation, which provides ideas on how one can use cinematic means to build a story around a turning point. In addition, a consultant from the Danish Red Cross Youth will join us and discuss large and small events that can be turning points. During the actual film production, students receive help from the FILM-X guides to shoot and edit their film. The visit concludes with a film screening and a discussion of the films’ messages and the way they were made.

When Mom and Dad Are Divorced Total Running Time: 90 min. 6 years +

Around every third Danish child between 0 and 18 years experiences the divorce of its parents. Unfortunately, many of the children also feel that the adults find it difficult to talk to them about it. In four little animations, these children are given a voice, and together with the director Rikke Hallund they have used cut-out animation to illustrate the many emotions they are struggling with. After the films, there will be a panel discussion with questions from the audience. The panel consists of film director Rikke Hallund, psychologist Inge Schough Larsen and a teacher from Fritidshjemmet Krudtuglen who has led conversation groups with children of divorced parents. In addition, the panel will include some of the children who participated in the project and the creation of the films.

Films on Divorce

The children have provided the stories, chosen the subjects and made the collages that are the basis of the films. They deal with difficult subjects such as experiencing the breakup between the parents, the feeling of being torn between father and mother, and the need to talk to somebody. But they also reveal the good sides, that one doesn’t normally think about. FILMS ON DIVORCE / SKILSMISSEFILM Denmark 2013, 25 min. Danish Version Director: Rikke Hallund / Distr.: Perlefilm

Inuits - The Legend of Sarila Total Running Time: 97 min. 7 years +

Long before snowmobiles and rescue helicopters, the Inuit defied the elements of nature and lived their life in snow and cold. At the National Museum, knowledge and storytelling are brought together as BUSTER shows the animated adventure ‘The Legend of Sarila’. The film can also be complemented by the National Museum’s educational offerings. Before the screening, there will be a presentation by the National Museum’s guides, who will give an introduction to the exhibition and highlight the selected items.

The Legend of Sarila

Life can be tough on the Arctic tundra, where one is subject to the vagaries of nature. When all the animals in the area suddenly disappear and the survival of the tribe is threatened, the young Markussi and his two friends embark on a dangerous journey in search for the mythical paradise Sarila. Many obstacles are lurking in the wild nature, and to make matters worse, the rejected Shaman Kiliq is also determined to disrupt the youths’ plan. ‘Legend of Sarila’ takes us on an exciting journey to the land of the Inuit far up north. A beautiful animated adventure that gives us a good insight into this indigenous people’s culture and customs. At the same time, the film tells a universal story of friendship and courage and finding one’s own worth.

Apart from seeing the film, it is also possible to enjoy an added bonus by booking one of the educational offerings. ‘Legends and Myths in Greenland’ talks about how stories about difficult hunting expeditions, mischievous spirits and the empress of the winds have been handed down orally through generations, and children are introduced to the powers of storytelling. ‘A Hunter’s Life in Greenland’ is an opportunity to take a close look at living like an Inuit. See kayaks, sealskin suits and a shaman’s drum and learn more about this traditional hunting society. THE LEGEND OF SARILA Canada 2012, 82 min.

UPSIDEdown - Living With ADHD Total Running Time: 110 min. 10 years +

What’s behind the four letters ADHD? Get the answer from people who live with it on a daily basis when BUSTER gives you a short introduction to the subject and the opportunity to ask questions before the screening of the German film UPSIDEdown. Before the screening, BUSTER presents the comedian and TV host Anders Stjernholm, who has worked with the diagnosis for a long time, and two young ambassadors from the campaign ‘EN AF OS’ (‘ONE OF US’). They will tell us what it is like for them to have ADHD. After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about ADHD.

UPSIDEdown

10-year-old Sascha lives in Germany with his mother and his two older siblings in a soulless concrete block. In school, he is bullied because he can’t read or write, and Sascha reacts aggressively by both lying and stealing. His mother has had enough and contacts the social services, which assign him a supervisor, the well-meaning Frank. The two slowly approach each other, but is it at all possible to reach someone like Sascha? ‘UPSIDEdown’ is an empathetic, social-realist portrait of a misfit, misunderstood boy who is at odds with almost everything and everyone. A gripping film related to the Dardenne brothers’, which is based on a true story and deals with the difficult theme of ADHD without moralising or pointing fingers.

Danny’s Doomsday - From Idea to Film Total Running Time: 60 min. 11 years +

How do you get an idea for a film, and how do you transform the idea into a finished product? You can get an insight into this when BUSTER in collaboration with Miso Film invites you to an exclusive look at the ongoing work on the film ‘Danny’s Doomsday’. The film uses large-scale effects, which include both mechanical monsters and digitally animated effects. ‘Danny’s Doomsday’ is a Danish monster adventure film for children and youths, which is being shot in the summer of 2013 and will premiere in autumn 2014. The film is about two brothers, Danny, 16, and William, 14, who are forced to barricade themselves into their basement, as animals created by climate change invade the suburb they live in. In a changed world, the brothers have to put their differences behind them and set out to the shopping mall to find their mother and (possibly) survive doomsday. The film’s director Martin Barnewitz and the author Søren Grinderslev Hansen will talk about their collaboration. Starting with the development of the screenplay, you will see the production’s various phases - from the written word to test shoots, rewrites and the final film’s recently

completed footage. You will get a glimpse of the long process that has preceded this summer’s shoot and the further work that lies ahead to complete the film. Martin Barnewitz and Søren Grinderslev Hansen will share their experiences in developing a “monster” from ones own imagination. How does one go from descriptions and sketches to a fully-fledged monster, which can be integrated into a film. Excerpts from the work with digital and mechanical effects both on and off the film set will be shown, as well as production stills and a status-update of the process one year before the premiere. So if you are curious to hear about how much work is being put into a film production, you can come and look behind the scenes and see how next year’s great Danish children and youth film is being made. Miso Film is among other things behind the successful TV series ‘Dicte’ and ‘Those Who Kill’ as well as the features ‘The Candidate’ and ‘Jensen & Jensen’. Martin Barnewitz is known for the youth thriller ‘Room 205’ and Søren Grinderslev Hansen has among other things written the youth film ‘My Good Enemy’.

The 18th May 1993 Total Running Time: 186 min. 13 years +

On 18 May 1993, the referendum on the Edinburgh treaty developed into a violent riot in Nørrebro, where the police fired 113 shots at the demonstrators. In cooperation with the Danish Police Museum, BUSTER highlights this historic day and shows the film ‘The Eighteenth’. After the screening, we move from Empire Bio to the Danish Police Museum, where you can learn about the police’s handling of major conflicts in recent times. The tour will talk about police work from the 1600s, via the ‘Battle of the Commons’ in 1872 to 18 May 1993, the focal point of the tour. The tour will be followed by a workshop where you can discuss and share your opinion about the dilemmas concerning the police’s role and work in connection with 18 May. If you wish to book the event, you can read more on www.politimuseum.dk

The 18th May 1993

On 18 May 1993, Denmark lost some of of its innocence. We voted yes to join the EU, and the police fired 113 shots at protesters when Nørrebro exploded in some of the worst civil unrest in Denmark’s recent history. Anders Rønnow Klarlund’s film ‘The Eighteenth’ uses this fateful day as the starting point for three personal stories, which he merges cleverly. The singer Ulla is battling a divorce and is desperately wanting to be a good mother. The unbalanced Jens is keen to escape from the closed ward in order to go home to his girlfriend. And the salesman Michael will stop at nothing to seal the big deal with the Italians. A stylish and visually experimental film from Denmark’s early Dogma years.

Inuits - Maïna

Total Running Time: 118 min. 13 years +

Long before snowmobiles and rescue helicopters, the Inuit defied the elements of nature and lived their life in snow and cold. At the National Museum, knowledge and storytelling are brought together as BUSTER shows the adventurous drama ‘Maïna’. The film can also be complemented by the National Museum’s educational offerings. Before the screening, there will be a presentation by the National Museum’s guides, who will give an introduction to the exhibition and highlight the selected items.

Maïna

One of the magical things about films is that they can transport us through time and space to worlds we would never experience otherwise. “Maïna” is the tough, thrilling and touching story about a young native Indian girl in northern Canada. She is the daughter of the clan’s chief and shaman, and possesses the power of the wolf spirit. When a little boy from the clan is abducted by Inuits, she follows them and even ends up being admitted into their clan, far up north in a world of snow and ice - but this does not pass without problems, as culture and nature has shaped the two people differently. The concept of ‘girl power’ is very much put into perspective in this highly beautiful film, whose message is that one shouldn’t necessarily fear the unknown.

Asylum at Brorson’s Church Total Running Time: 148 min. 14 years +

Dublin

There is not much hope for the young boy Daoud in the film ‘Dublin’. In a desperate attempt not to be deported because of the strict Dublin Convention, he decides to go to extremes. The film is a harrowing portrait of a young refugee who is being sent back and forth in the Swedish asylum system, and gives you plenty of food for thought.

No Man’s Land

The documentary ‘No Man’s Land’ brings us close to some of the personal destinies of those caught in a limbo at the asylum centre in Jægerspris, where they are waiting to find out whether they will be granted a residence permit or not. The centre accommodates 40 children and youngsters aged 10-18 years, mainly from Afghanistan, Iran and Africa. We follow the staff and the centre’s residents over the course of a few days, when three boys are about to get their final rejection.

BUSTER and Brorson’s Church invite you for a chat about asylum and a film screening. In the church crypt that used to house asylum seekers, Per Ramsdal will give a presentation, which is followed by the screening. Brorson’s Church opened its doors in August 2009 to 50 out of 282 rejected asylum seekers from Iraq. The Iraqis took refuge in Brorson’s Church because they believed it wasn’t safe for them to return to Iraq. A lot of volunteers helped provide food and other necessities to the rejected asylum seekers, and they organised demonstrations and much more. After more than two months, police cleared the church, which led to large protests, also from the Danish clergy. Before the screening there will a be presentation by Per Ramsdal, former pastor at Brorson’s Church. He involved himself personally in the asylum proceedings and provided help and support to the Iraqis in the church, though his actions were met with fierce criticism from politicians, colleagues and parts of the population.

Frida Kahlo - Life of An Artist Total Running Time: 125 min. 14 years +

ARKEN invites you to enjoy a close look at Frida Kahlo’s works and self-portraits, and for the occasion BUSTER is showing the biographical film ‘Frida’. Frida Kahlo is one of the 20th century’s most significant artistic personalities - she was a pioneer in involving her own person in her art. With self-portraits and intimate portrayals of her dramatic life, Kahlo challenged the boundaries between work and personal life, art and everyday culture.

Frida

Mexican painter Frida Kahlo took the world by storm with her work, but her personal story attracted just as much attention. Salma Hayek plays Kahlo, who has a passionate relationship with her fellow artist and husband, Diego Rivera, but is also realising other dreams, all of which were reflected on her canvases. A controversial affair with Lev Trotsky and her political commitment added even more colors to the image of an independent woman, who would not let herself be bullied. Not even the painful results of a traffic accident she was involved in as a 18-year-old could put an end to Frida Kahlo’s urge to work. The film, which won two Oscars, is an explosive portrait of an admirable woman.

The hockey players will show off their gear in the foyer, so you can get a close look at the cool costumes. You can even try it on and feel how heavy it is. Before the screening, the team members will hand out free tickets to one of their home matches.

A Close Encounter With Death Total Running Time: 106 min. 8 years +

In the Danish ‘Faith, Hope and Batman’, Christian’s father dies of cancer, and he is suddenly forced to deal with grief. Death is seen from unusual and peculiar angles as a number of children share their thoughts on the subject in the Oscar nominated animation “When Life Departs”. A subtle and poetic adaptation of a touching children’s book about a duck who gets a visit from Death. In the imaginative ‘Dog in Heaven’, Lora refuses to say a last farewell to her beloved pet, and in protest she decides to become a dog herself. We get a witty, yet good insight into the funeral traditions of different cultures when a girl sends her mouse out on its last journey. The German animation ‘The Treasure’ tackles the subjects of death and the passing of the seasons in a nice little story about a girl and her grandfather.

Derude, hvor de krogede træer skjuler monstre, spøgelser og andre outsidere, som han har hevet ind i sin familievenlige horror, hvor uhyggen bliver spøjs, og det grimme bliver smukt. Den biografaktuelle ’Dark Shadows’ er ikke hans bedste ﬁlm, men stilen er igen helt umiskendelig burtonsk. Portræt side 8-10
