• Når mor kommer hjem... / Mama klaut / On Our Own. 1998.
     DK. Da Linda, mor til Kasper på 11, Sara på 8 og Julie på 5, skal ind og ruske tremmer for butikstyveri, må Kasper overtage rollen som familiens overhoved, men udsigten til et par dage uden overvågning fra voksne er ikke just noget, der skræmmer de tre børn, tværtimod! I deres øjne åbner det blot hidtil uanede muligheder for valgfrie middagsretter og sengetider, hoppen i sengen, endeløs fest og ballade og ikke mindst: Ingen lektier! Men selvom de gør sig meget umage for at få alt til at se ud som om, de stadig er under behørig voksen-opsyn, begynder omverdenen så småt at blive mistænksom over, hvad der sker i lejligheden...

  • À la place du coeur / Where the Heart Is. 1998.
    FR. À la place du cœur est un film français réalisé par Robert Guédiguian, sorti en 1998.
    Même s'ils sont jeunes, Clémentine et Bébé ont bien l'intention de se marier. Seulement Bébé est accusé d'avoir violé une jeune femme. Bébé, enfant adopté, noir de peau, a eu le malheur de croiser le regard bleu d'acier d'un policier raciste. C'est sur ses accusations qu'il est jeté en prison. Clémentine, comme tous les jours, lui rend visite en prison. Cette fois-ci, contrairement à son habitude, elle ne l'appelle pas Bébé, mais François. C'est qu'elle a quelque chose de grave à lui annoncer: elle est enceinte.
    EN. A young girl falls in love with a black young man and gets pregnant,but the poor boy is accused of rape .The parents' attitude is diametrically opposite to that of the people of the thirties:this baby is a hope,the only hope in fact,the only thing that prevents the jailed man from complete despair.In a very moving sequence ,à la "it's a wonderful life" ,the father explains how the baby's life touches so many other lives.Life is not rosy for these modest people but their struggle is noble and endearing:Ascaride's trip to Sarajevo is the center of gravity of the movie:she displays so much love,understanding,humanity and hope against hope that the audience feels relieved when she finally pulls it off.
    Director: Robert Guédiguian.
    Cast: Ariane Ascaride, Christine Brücher, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Gérard Meylan, Alex Ogou, Laure Raoust, Véronique Balme, Pierre Banderet, Patrick Bonnel, Djamal Bouanane, acques Boudet, Guillaume Cantillon, Jean-Jérôme Esposito, Marius Grygielewicz.

  • Anthology of short films. Part 41.
     And one more issue of a Anthology of short films, today`s number 41. Six short films, mostly fresh and dedicated to the problems of growing up and sexual orientation.
    1. Reflection. 2014.
    Tara, a young single mother, struggles to raise her gender non-conforming son. Increasingly aware of what it means to go against society’s “normal”, Tara finds it difficult to accept who her son wants to be.
    Directors’ Statement:
    “Despite confusion and frustration, a mother’s love trumps all fears.”
    Reflection is an honest look at what it means to be a parent to LGBTQ youth.
    Many emotional insecurity in LGBTQ adolescents are related to social stigma and negative societal responses, including the lack of family acceptance. And relationships between LGBTQ youth and their parents are often challenged. This film depicts a story of a mother and her enduring influence on her child’s life, and that despite her wishes for a “normal kid”, her love and understanding makes all the difference.
    Director: Hazuki Aikawa.
    Cast: Leah Cogan, Jake Mestre, James Ciccarelle, Stephanie Cozart, Yuko Aikawa, Gwendolyn Harmsen, Stacie Rathbone, Soto Silva.

    2. Oh, My God! 2008.
    Anne Sewitsky's Oh My God! is a humorous observation of children's interpretations and experiences of sexuality. The film also looks back through grown-up eyes at the reality of being part of the "in-crowd" and the lengths to which one is prepared to go to become a respected member. But first and foremost Oh my God! is a film about the orgasm.
    Director: Anne Sewitsky.
    Cast: Ella Vicorie Henriksen Haagensen, Julie Solberg, Ebba Tangen.
    Norway, 2008.
    Language: Norwegian.
    3. Iver. 2004.
    Short story about fairness and misuse of power and privileges seen from a child's perspective - told so that children (and adults) everywhere will understand.
    Iver, beautifully portrayed by young Erik Næsbak Brenden, is a young boy who sneaks into the town's indoor public baths where everything he wants to do seems to be breaking the pool's rules and regulations, and sets off the sturdy life guard's whistle. Finally, he's shown to the showers. Iver's mother is late in picking him up, so he has to stay till after closing time and sneaks back into the pool. But he's not alone ...
    Although the turning point of the film is a bit too quick and easy, the story is nicely told so that a child easily can follow it and understand - and reflect upon it. Well worth the nine minutes.
    Director: Christian Lo.
    Cast: Erik Næsbak Brenden, Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Ragnhild Seljeset Mykleset.
