Come to the program launch
Copenhagen International Film Festival will launch this year’s program with both a biographical drama and a zombie thriller on Sunday, 2 September.
On 2 September, in Dagmar and CinemaxX, the audience can see films, enjoy a free festival drink and be the first to read this year’s Danish program paper. Having experienced true drama and horror in the shape of A Mighty Heart and 28 weeks later, the audience can prepare itself for ten days of European films.
Like the two very different films of the program launch, this year’s festival program reflects the many faces of European films, amongst other things offering historical epics, psychological thrillers, dramatic documentaries and romance in all its guises. The festival will present a broad selection of films from the large filmmaking nations France, Germany and Spain, as well as from more neglected countries such as Italy, Russia, Belgium, Turkey, Israel and Austria.
At the program launch, the audience will also see the premiere of the festival’s trailer, which was this year directed by Nikolaj Lie Kaas. _____________________________________________________
 A MIghty Heart |
A Mighty Heart
A Mighty Heart is the story about the American journalist Daniel Pearl, who disappeared in the Pakistani city of Karachi in 2002 – five weeks later, the American consulate received a video recording of his execution. The director Michael Winterbottom has made a film based on the book by Pearl’s widow Mariane, which was written for their then still unborn son. With Angelina Jolie in the lead role, Michael Winterbottom has made a film that grabs the audience by the scruff of the neck and only lets go when the last credits have rolled across the screen.
A Mighty Heart is shown in Dagmar at 16.30 hrs. The film is distributed by UIP. |

28 Weeks Later
28 Weeks Later is directed by the Spaniard Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and is a visionary and uncompromising sequel of Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later. 28 weeks after a mysterious virus has turned London’s inhabitants into mouth-frothing, meat-eating zombies, all the infected people have died. With the help of the American army, an attempt is made to revive the proud city, and the surviving population is let back in. But can one really be sure that the plague has disappeared?
28 Weeks Later is shown in CinemaxX at 1900 hrs. The film is distributed by Fox Film. |
