The Home Front
Director & Cinematographer: Phie Ambo
Producer: Sigrid Dyekjær
Film Editor: My Thordal
'The Home Front' is about conflicts in our private sphere: feuds between neighbours. The film follows Mogens Peuliche, a boundary inspector, who mediates between disagreeing neighbours. We enter the homes of the feuding parties to learn about the conflicts from both sides. Why is it so difficult to solve a conflict so close at hand? And what do hedges and fences represent? Is this really what the conflicts are all about? DFI / TV2. Primetime. Festivals: CPH:DOX 2010, IDFA 2010 UK subtitles!
Fever
Director & Cinematographer: Phie Ambo
Producer: Mille Haynes
Film Editor: Nanna Frank Møller
Fever guides us into the incredibly detailed universe of illustrator Julie Nord, where small girls in pretty dresses have houses in their bellies, and where chimney smoke turns into phantasmagoric patterns of mouths and hands, cats and bones. A work is created, and doubt is sewn. When is a work complete? Julie Nord is sharing her creative reflections with us through the unobtrusive presence of Ambo's camera. A small bird ends up making all the difference as yet a beautiful, new work is finished. Nord's perfectionism is impressive in its minute detail and vast scope, and 'Fever' is a guided tour through the mind of a uniquely gifted artist. DVD price: 60 DKK / 8 EUROS / 12 USD + shipping costs

Producer: Sigrid Dyekjær
Film Editor: Adam Nielsen
Two ladies - mother and daughter - live on the sunny Portuguese coast. Throughout their entire lives, they have had more than enough money to live the good life - no work and lots of pleasure. But now they have a problem: Their wealth has run out! A jet set upper-class life is substituted by unpaid bills and by a constant fear of not being able to pay next month’s rent - and the daughter, who has never worked a day in her life, is now forced to forget her decadent lifestyle and try to create an independent life for herself at the age of 56. We meet the little family when the father has just died. Mother and daughter have unwillingly had to move from their huge luxurious home into a small flat - which they can hardly afford. The mother gets a Danish pension, but that is far from enough to cover the monthly expenses of two grown women who are used to having all the money they need. So Anne Mette and her mother Mette borrow money from friends, shop on credit at the local grocery stores and pay their dentist with a painting from their living room wall. Anne Mette tries to find a job, but it is more than difficult to enter a strained job market in times of worldwide economical crisis with an empty CV and a rich kid attitude.
