This year´s festival is kicked off with The Diving Bell and concluded with Sleuth
Julian Schnabel’s Cannes-award-winning The Diving Bell and the Butterfly will open this year’s Copenhagen International Film Festival, and the 10 days of European film will be rounded off with Kenneth Branagh’s Sleuth.
Gala opening ceremony on 20 September in Imperial When Copenhagen International Film Festival opens its doors to this year’s gala opening ceremony on 20 September, many guests from the Danish and international film industry will be lining the red carpet in Imperial cinema to see a great cinematic highlight. Among the guests of honour, there will be the director and painter Julian Schnabel, whose beautiful film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le papillon) won the award for Best Director at this year’s Cannes film festival. The film tells the true and incredible story about the French fashion editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who was paralysed after a stroke and subsequently learned to communicate with only his one eyelid. The moving and convincing film takes us into the depth of his mind and shows how he reacts to one appalling situation after another with a sense of liberating black humour. Most people in Bauby’s situation would give up the struggle, but he finds a way to live with his limited possibili ties and writes a book about his life, with the help of a nurse. The best-selling book was published in 1997. |

Gala awards ceremony on 29 September in Scala
This year’s Gala awards ceremony will take place in the reopened Scala cinema on 29 September. The excitement that will have built up around the coveted Golden Swan awards will come to its conclusion, and the evening will be rounded off with a screening of Kenneth Branagh’s Sleuth. The film, which is also shown at the Venice film festival, is an explosive cocktail of talents, with Michael Caine and Jude Law in the main roles and none less than Harold Pinter behind the screenplay of this intelligent remake of Anthony Shaffer’s classic. The millionaire Andrew Wyke (Caine) writes murder mysteries, and one day he decides to apply his crafty imagination in the real world. His guinea pig is Milo Tindle (Law), his wife’s young lover. The wife sends Tindle to settle the divorce with Wyke, who doesn’t seem to be the least bit against it. He just wants Tindle to help him with a faked burglary. But things don’t turn out as expected, and they start a complicated, grotesque and let hal game, which is just as frightening as it is cleverly conceived and bitingly satirical. |
