In 2007, the squatter house Ungdomshuset on Jagtvej 69 in Copenhagen was cleared by the police. Subsequently, violent riots broke out in the streets of Copenhagen. This documentary film follows the young people's fight from the inside during the last six months. 69 is a film about youth, rebellion and radicalization.

Engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining. Age of Stupid is the best film so far on the climate issue. The responsibility is unmistakably assigned. Come and find out if you are part of the problem or part of the solution to the climate problems.

Meet Britain’s most violent man – better known as Charles Bronson ¬ in Nicolas Winding Refn’s newest film. It is a personal portrait of a violence-powered psychopath – a laboured and stylistically consistent violence cabaret with a great soundtrack.
[to the top]

The Coen brothers' absurdly funny spy comedy in which Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand shine as the foolhardy fitness centre employees who try to blackmail a former CIA agent and get into quite a mess.

Two families celebrate the Christmas holidays in the country with their blended children. Yet, slowly the children start behaving in a strange and ruthless manner and the holiday develops into an extraordinary nightmare of the worst kind. The Children is by far the creepiest scary movie for years.

Watch last year's absolute action roar! It was fully deserved that Heath Ledger won an Oscar for the role of the cruelly evil and anarchistic Joker in this adrenalin rush and intense nightmare vision.
[to the top]

A group of young lads go off on their mopeds. And you are going with them. On the way, they explore manhood, brotherhood and freedom – where men want to be men and dreams are to be realised.

Norwegians fighting Nazi zombies is always worth a trip to the cinema. Get ready for some blood-red snow.

D.Y.I. Filmklub has moved from Copenhagen to Roskilde Cinema ’09. They show homemade films – from the documentary genre to cracked-up B-screen films with slime-dripping zombies or perhaps raw chicken speared with baseball bats. If you want to watch the film world get smacked around then come and curl your toes to our show. Do It Yourself.
[to the top]

Humour of the worst kind. There is plenty of pizza-eating, masturbating and day-dreaming on the way to a place in Guinness World Records. It is not funny – it is hysterical!
[to the top]

The screen adaptation of Erlend Loe's debut novel is a wonderfully funny, Norwegian comedy which ironically portrays a young man's troubles in love. It is about, a.o., the therapeutic thing about a blue pool, about having sex wearing a diver's mask and about a much needed Parisian affair.
[to the top]

Four girls on rehab run away from an outing with their treatment home. During their escape, they are forced to take responsibility for their own lives. What starts as a leap of fun ends as a revenge rampage and unravelling the girls’ dark pasts.
[to the top]

Here is the film that Quentin Tarantino has just remade, and which competed in Cannes Film Festival this year. The original is absolute worth watching before Tarantino's remake is on the screens.
[to the top]

Jean-Claude Van Damme is back! The star returns to Brussels but ends up a hostage in a failed post office robbery. JCVD is not the traditional kickboxing film but full of suspense and self-irony in true hostage style. Van Damme Camp hosts a smack-punching party after the film.
[to the top]

Go to Saturn with Per, Arne and Jamil – aka Danish comedians Casper Christensen, Frank Hvam and Ali Kazim – on a space journey to the satirical universe. The team behind the Danish animated film Terkel in Trouble is back – and now joined by Johnny Margrethe, Anders Fogh and Jesus!
[to the top]

Hippie commune, free love and Afghan furs. The two Norwegian lads Carl and Robert lead the sweet stoner life when they get an irresistible offer of 45 kilo Nepalese hash. This kicks off an action-filled trip through Oslo's underworld in this hysterically funny hippie film!
[to the top]

One of the best vampire films ever – and absolutely the best Scandinavian film in many years. Let the Right One in is horribly original and entertaining.
[to the top]

That is how to cut a documentary film! The story about Philippe Petit's incredible and illegal tightrope walking between the twin towers in New York is told in a way that makes you alternately bite your nails and laugh out loud.
[to the top]

It is not only with violence that they battle for territory in Jamaica. It can also be done in a cocktail of sexually very explicit and aggressive dancehall culture. The sexes fight for the power in this juicy documentary which can teach you a dance step or two. After the showing, DJ Rosforth will play up to a dance.

The first Pusher film has been remade in London with Indian actors. Come find out what Franke is called in hindu.
[to the top]

This epic masterpiece sets new standards for how crazy Japaneese films can get. The entertainment value is at least as great as the financial crisis. Come laugh yourself half to dead.
[to the top]

A historical horror film, which in the most subtle and scary way shows the Finnish sauna culture. The film is set in the year of 1595 when the disputes about the delineation of borders between Finland and Russia spread into the otherwise so cosy saunas.
[to the top]

The young police officer from Copenhagen Robert is transferred to a job as substitute village constable in a small town in the southern part of Denmark. Yet, the unwritten rules which govern the town face him with bigger challenges than he had imagined. Country idyll and taking the law into one’s own hands at full speed.
[to the top]

Perhaps the bloodiest film since Peter Jackson’s Braindead. The blood drips down the screen while mad Japaneese people demonstrate that there is a grotesquely frightening insanity hidden behind their polite exterior.
[to the top]

Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall are on vacation in Barcelona. They are both seduced by and fall in love with Javier Bardem who still loves his suicidal ex-wife Penelope Cruz who also pops up. And what follows is a true spanish drama! Ironic, warm and lovable Woody Allen flick at its best.
[to the top]

Pixar's poetic judgment day story about the charming robot Wall-E who in entertaining ways draws the frightening consequences of man's destructive ways of life. Animation film when it is best!
[to the top]

You sit mesmerised all the way through this animated documentary film which investigatively aims at covering the traumas that war undeniably causes. With a tremendous soundtrack and breathtakingly beautiful visuals, we are taken back to the brutal massacre that took place in Libanon in ’82.

See new Danish film talents from Super16 and The National Film School of Denmark in action and be seduced, surprised and absorbed!
