  • Palestine 36 - Harrowing and all too rare retelling of the...

    Palestinian cinema is distinctly prolific. The more efforts are made to erase Palestinians as a people and Palestine as a slice of West Asian land, the more urgent the storytelling becomes. 2025 has already seen a number of much hyped premieres and releases, but the novelty this year seems to be... continue
  • In Vermiglio, the cold bites but it also keeps you alive.

    1944. Wartime Italy. Icebound village. Maura Delpero’s Vermiglio (2025) is truly an exquisite winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury. The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

Short of the Week: Q&A with Gunhild Enger & Jenni Toivoniemi, directors of Kommittén

by Abla Kandalaft
How did your collaboration on this film start? We were invited on to the CPH:LAB programme to collaborate and luckily shared the same sense of humour and found the possibility inspiring. For the uninitiated, could you explain a little bit more about this junction between the three countries and its significance?
