Roskilde Cinema’s programme will have a strong Scandinavian focus this year. Many Scandinavian films contain a skewness and humour that fit perfectly with the levity and playfulness which mark the atmosphere at Roskilde Festival.

This year's programme offers the Norwegian Nazi-zombie-gore-comedy Død Snø (Dead Snow). To guarantee entertainment in the late hours, the programme is horrored up so you can look forward to the Finnish horror film Sauna (Filth), Lordi's fantasy thriller Dark Floors and the Swedish social-realist vampire film Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In).

Roskilde Cinema also presents a couple of Danish premiere screenings. Look forward to a Bollywood-remake of the Danish film Pusher and the slightly brutal Australian drama West.

Like in the rest of Roskilde Festival's programme, Roskilde Cinema also makes room for the new growth layer. This year we will show films from the National Film School of Denmark, short films from dvoted.net, and the film club D.Y.I will present their newest creations. In addition, we are currently working on establishing a collaboration with two major international film festivals that are going to help find upcoming film talents from other parts of the world.

Environment-friendly large-scale cinema
Through the past couple of years, Roskilde Cinema has enjoyed increasing popularity and this year we are therefore going to expand to 900 seats. Measured in seats, Roskilde Cinema thereby becomes Denmark’s second largest cinema.

In addition, we will upgrade our technique so that Roskilde Cinema as of this summer goes 100 % digital. Practically all films will be shown in full HD format, and the sound will be improved and adjusted to the surroundings.

At the same time, we are working on making the cinema greener. Roskilde Cinema has made an ambitious objective for reducing our power consumption. Already as of 2009, we expect to use 30 % less power than in 2008 – and our objective is to achieve a reduction of approximately 60 % over a period of three years.

As a part of Roskilde Festival’s overall focus on climate in 2009, we will make an account of the power consumption per guest in the cinema.
