GAMBLER
Is an entertaining documentary about film director Nicolas Winding Refn's struggle to clear himself of a personal debt of DKK 5.5 million – to secure his family financially and help him get on with his life. Nicolas Winding Refn, noted for his debut cult movie "Pusher" from 1996, was forced to file for personal bankruptcy when "Fear X" became a box-office flop which left him DKK 5.5 million in the red. His only chance to wipe the slate clean and continue his career as filmmaker was to produce "Pusher 2" and "Pusher 3".

COMPLAINTS CHOIR
“Why do the train always smell like pee”
Everyone complains. Some people believe that if you don't complain, you'll get sick. Some people believe that you'll get sick if you do.

“My toast is always cold”
From Helsinki to Melbourne, from Jerusalem to Birmingham, there are Complaints Choirs all over the world. Why? Because two Finnish artists got the idea of putting our complaints to music.

“My dreams are boring”
This funny, moving documentary follows the trials and tribulations of ordinary citizens, unified by their desire to say what bugs them, as they start new choirs in Singapore and Chicago – with both horrifying and beautiful results.

THE WILD HEARTS
The Wild Hearts is a modern road movie about 12 boys from Funen and their insane moped ride to Poland – the last trip at their manhood test.

The Wild Hearts is a moped gang, consisting of a group of Danish guys in their early twenties.

An adventurous gang which under the oath of allegiance, insane esprit de corps and branding, put each other, where even the wildest imagination goes.

The Wild Hearts is much more than a road movie, it is also a movie about yearning for freedom, about friendship between men and everything that men want to do when they are together with their counterparts.

Subtitles: English

Additional "Vesterbro"

A real youth movie about the young love.

When the documentarist, Michael Noer, handed a digital camera to his 20-year-Vesterbro neighbours, with the short message to film the dramatic turning points in their lives, he probably didn’t imagined what he simultaneously set in motion. Because Julie and Martin are like most of their age; impulsive, wild and constantly on the hunt for fixed point in their proactive life.

The film is about young lovers up and downs, told with a rare degree of honesty, intimacy and precision.
