Shortlisted at Young Director Award 2020


copenhagen is a film about the city of copenhagen created as a permanent installation in the grand and newly opened museum of copenhagen. the film is a symphony by a child of the city, someone who was born and raised within it’s streets. therefore it’s a deeply subjective portrayal of the cities people, places and myths; about those you see and meet, and about the places you cross on your way through life.
