ICELANDIC FILM NIGHT: NOÍ ALBINÓI

“Nói albinói,” (aka “Noi the Albino), directed by Dagur Kári, 2003, 93 minutes

18:30 = CAFÉ OPENS

19:30 = “Nói albinói” (Aka Noi The Albino)

This is a spare and poetic film with a morbidly deadpan sense of humour. The title character is a seventeen-yearold gifted underachiever who lives with his grandmother in a dreary little village on the coast of northern Iceland - a harsh, isolated environment for anyone to grow up in but particularly challenging for a misfit adolescent with few social skills and no real hope for the future. Bored by the school and bereft of friends, this young man drifts through life, dreaming of the day when he will be able to live on a very different kind of island in the South Seas, a location light years removed from this place where the interiors are every bit as stark and forbidding as the whiteon-white world outside. But will he ever get to fulfil his dream? Written and directed by Dagur Kari, with an artist's eye for lyricism and austerity, this is a bleak but intriguing little film that will stay in your mind long past the closing credits.

20 APRIL CLIMATE CHANGE ISN'T FUNNY: A COMEDY NIGHT

A group of amazing comedians take on the impossible: making comedy out of the climate crisis.

We talk about the people who are causing it, the people who are fighting it, and the people who are trying not to think about it - and we gently roast them like humanity is roasting the planet.

We answer important questions such as: how vegan do you have to be before you can be a climate activist? And how can we explain climate change with the help of 90s movies? You will also have a chance to test your knowledge and hear more about how to go from climate panic to climate power.

Hosted by: Isabel Arnold

Doors open at 18:00, so join us for a drink and get comfortable before our fantastic comedians allow us to laugh at our own misery!

The entrance is free, but we ask you to reserve your spot through the link.

Organised by Extinction Rebellion Denmark in cooperation with HUSET.

23 April Danish On A Sunday

Great opportunity to brush up on your Danish with the safety of English subtitles. Cinemateket presents "Danish on a Sunday" with a series of Danish movies on specific Sundays during the week.

The movie on this date is called "A Matter of Trust".

On a perfectly ordinary late summer day, the lives of five unrelated people are turned upside down. A husband, a doctor, a wife, a student, and a young daughter are unsuspectingly put on a collision course with each at their own fateful crossroads. In search of love, identity, and moral gauge, they all risk the most precious aspect of life: Trust. But trust is vulnerable, and the consequences will be irreversible and forbidden.

23 April Storytelling Special Edition

The voice of nature - Council of all beings.

In this special edition Storytelling Cicle, we will use the language of storytelling to get a deeper insight into nature around us, the stories it tells and the challenges it is facing in this modern time. The intention is to connect to other beings, listen and perhaps find an answer to what could be done when nature needs our attention.

We will gather around the fire in the heart of Riis Forest, each connecting with one particular being and asking to speak on behalf of it. Through contemplation and intuitive art, we prepare ourselves to participate in the "Council of All Beings."

The Council of All Beings is a facilitated ritual in which we all step aside from our human identity and speak on behalf of another life form.

Finally, we would offer tea and snacks while sharing our experiences by the warmth of the fire and the magic of a spring evening.

23 April Sakura Festival

The Copenhagen Sakura Festival will return to Langelinje Park under the blossoming cherry trees in 2023! The festival is free for all - no tickets are needed. Just show up at Langelinie Park on the 22nd and 23rd of April between 11:00 and 16:00 to enjoy the festivities, booths, food, entertainment and great vibes.

The Copenhagen Sakura Festival is well known for featuring many Japanese cultural performances. Every year, you will experience traditional and modern Japanese culture through the performances on stage amidst the blossoming Sakura trees.

The Committee of the Copenhagen Sakura Festival was established in February 2008 to arrange the cultural event Copenhagen Sakura Festival with the help of the Japanese Embassy in Denmark, the Municipality of Copenhagen and other Japan-related cultural and private organisations. The original idea came from the noble deed of donation of 200 cherry blossom (Sakura) trees by Mr Seiichi Takaki, President of Andersen Institute of Bread & Life, the holding company of Andersen Group of Hiroshima City, and the employees of the company. The donated trees were planted in Langelinie Park. Mr Takaki is the Honorary Consul of Denmark, and he was appointed to the honourable position of ambassador of H.C. Andersen on the 200th anniversary of H.C. Andersen's birthday in 2005. The donated Sakura trees were planted in Langelinie Park. In Japan, people love and admire Sakura blossom, and almost everybody goes out to enjoy its beauty together with families, friends, lovers, and office-mates, wherever and whenever Sakura bloom. Once a year, Sakura connects people, and people meet people under Sakura trees. It is also the utmost and fundamental goal of the Committee. The Committee is honoured to have H.H. Princess Elizabeth as Patroness and as Honorable Chairperson H.E. the Ambassador of Japan to Denmark and Lord Mayor of the City of Copenhagen. The Committee consists of representatives of Japan-related business, cultural and private organisations, the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Japanese Embassy.

25-30 APRIL SOUND OF FIVE

What came first? – the dance or the rhythm? Keep your hand on your chest, and you will get the answer. With the heart as a metronome, Recoil Performance Group takes the audience on a polyrhythmic journey where, for once, the dancer controls the composer – and not the other way around. SOUND OF FIVE is razorsharp precision and rhythms that can be seen, felt, and heard. It is a sensory bombardment of the rare when SOUND OF FIVE occupies the brand-new room at DanseTippen in Sydhavn. The dance performance is delivered by eight dancers at the international top level. It is created by the double Reumert winner, choreographer and artistic director Tina Tarpgaard in collaboration with ŠEIKO Dance Company and the award-winning composer and classical percussionist Mathias Friis-Hansen.

World-class dance

With SOUND OF FIVE, a unique team of experienced dancers and the best young talents has been assembled. The artistic vision is to create a symphony of eight bodies in motion, which with infectious energy, leads the audience through a musical and visual experience where the audience can expect an exceptional sensuous performance. The music has been created from the recordings Mathias Friis-Hansen has obtained by processing sounds of the dancers' movements, breath and heartbeat. The close collaboration and almost symbiotic coexistence between steps and sound make music and dance a special sensory experience for both the artists involved and the audience, who, in this performance, sit very close to the dancers. Moving rhythmically is a fundamental element in the development of both language and coordination in the child, and this primordial force is at play in the performance SOUND OF FIVE ", says Tina Tarpgaard. We know that it releases endorphins when we move and dance together. When professional dancers move with choreographic precision to specially composed music, they enter into a symbiosis, and a primordial force arises – and it is this bombardment with the sound of the dance, music, sensuality, and bodies that the audience gets to experience.
