The Red Cross sells stamps to Danish citizens on Red Cross Day, and the purpose of the film is to tell why no one is allowed to say no. You follow the Youth Red Cross, where the young people learn how to patch the injured together. Then you visit some of the kindergartens and homes where the Red Cross has trained nurses to take care of children. The Red Cross also runs a folk health center at Hald, where the regular population, for a small fee, are treated for diseases that require careful medical care. In addition, the Red Cross also helps to take care of the Allied refugees, just as they attend large numbers of large-scale events where Samaritans are needed. In bombed-out Poland, there is a strong need for the Red Cross, which responds by sending car convoys, ships and planes away to help.

In 1950, Danmarks Radio sent a journalist to an orphanage by the North Sea. Here he interviewed Palle, ten years old, who tells of a family life that was so burdened by violence, failure and loneliness that he could not stay at home. The director behind this documentary has dug up the sound recording from DR's archive, and with the help of animation she has given her own suggestion of how the touching interview could have looked in pictures.

The sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard has travelled thousands of miles from El Paso to Tijuana, along the growing wall that separates Mexico and the United States. A man-made metal membrane that makes its own sounds and whose steel wires sing in the wind as it stretches across the landscape from the desert to the sea. In his meditative video and sound work, Kirkegaard has mounted microphones on and around the wall to understand its dual character as a militant monument and abstraction. Both panoramas and close-ups show us that this, at first sight, deserted area of south-western USA has its own life of light and shadow – and not least sound.

Look at Me

Look at Me 2021

Authority, autonomy and one’s own complicity are elements in the transgressive situations that the artist Christian Falsnaes establishes in ‘Look at Me’, where he, in collaboration with the actress Minni Katrina Mertens, directs different groups of people at a night club, a gallery and an open-air festival. The boundary between subject and object – and between spectator and participant – is fleeting until you are finally invited on stage yourself. Throughout the entire proceedings, however, there is only one director. When Falsnaes and Mertens take turns to give both the others and each other instructions, it happens in an interplay where dominance and submission are the constants. ‘Look at Me’ embodies the kinds of soft and hard authority that we more or less consciously are subjected to everywhere in modern Western society, and it is made as both a documentary and a video work in its own right.

In the summer of 2019, a group of youths from Syria, Turkey, England and Denmark meet up for a two-week theatre workshop in Antalya. Here, they are given the task of staging human rights in a collective performance. First, they must agree on how to interpret the rights, both artistically and politically – and then it suddenly makes a difference if you come from Syria or Denmark, even if you are not aware of it yourself. The director Camille Bildsøe observes with an attentive presence how empathy and tolerance come about during the process. And, not least, how both can make an active difference in the real world.

What if you could make a stand-up show that made us all better people? What if you could make a show that made us all more loving? What if you could make a show where we got better at telling people that we care about them? What if... I could just achieve that for myself? A show about figuring out: am I charitable... or almost loving?
