 35th ANNIVERSARY THEME

Mixomino
I anledning af vores 35-års jubilæum er vores
visuelle tema hexominoes. De er geometriske figurer,
der består af 6 firkanter, som kan arrangeres på 35
måder. Nok kan man stable alle 35 sammen til en
firkant, men der er altid en lille stump tilovers, der
sært stikker ud. Gennem hele det printede program
bliver hexominoes mixet med scanninger af 35mm
film for at skabe en levende scene.

In celebration of MIX’s 35th anniversary, this year’s

theme is based on hexominoes—shapes made from six
equal-sized squares connected edge to edge. Only 35
combinations exist and no arrangement can be packed
into a rectangle, there’s always a queer protrusion.
Throughout the printed program hexominoes are mixed
with scans of 35mm film to set a vibrant scene.

 Om MIX
About MIX
• DK MIX CPH blev grundlagt i 1986, og er nu
Danmarks ældste årligt tilbagevendende
og endnu aktive filmfestival samt en af
verdens ældste LGBTQ+-filmfestivaler. Vi er
en frivillig forening drevet af passionerede
LGBTQ+-filmelskere, der bruger vores fritid
på at gøre MIX CPH til en spektakulær
begivenhed—ikke blot for LGBTQ+-miljøet,
men også for hele København og langt ud
over byens grænser.
Vi er derfor dybt afhængige af og
taknemmelige for den støtte, vi får fra
miljøet og vores samarbejdspartnere og for
alle, der hjælper os med at nå vores mål. Vi
bestræber os på at vise film, der udforsker
og udfordrer grænserne for mainstreamens
skildringer af køn og seksualitet.

• EN MIX CPH was founded in 1986 and is

now the oldest annual film festival in
Denmark, as well as one of the world’s
oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals. We are a
volunteer organization run by passionate
LGBTQ+ film lovers who use their spare
time to make MIX CPH a spectacular event—
not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for
all of Copenhagen and beyond.
We are therefore dependent on, and
deeply grateful for, the support we get from
the community, our business partners, and
everyone who helps us reach our goal: to
show films that question and challenge
the boundaries inherent in mainstream
portrayals of gender and sexuality and
reflect the diverse world we live in.

Velkommen / Welcome
VELKOMMEN til MIX COPENHAGENs 35-års
jubilæumsfestival. Vi har knoklet hårdt for
at kunne bringe jer noget helt specielt i år.
På trods af alt hvad 2020 har bragt os, har
vi store forventninger til vores jubilæum og
tilføjet spændende nye tiltag til festivalen som
helhed.
Som Nordens førende LGBTQ+ film festival
sætter vi igen i år fokus på nordiske queer
talenter i vores kortfilm program
Nordic Lights (s.18), der i år også får selskab
af tre dokumentarer under temaet Nordic
Cinema (s.20).
Vi er stolte af at kunne præsentere, for
første gang nogensinde, MIX Industry Weekend.
Som byder på en række begivenheder, fra
networking til rådgivning fra branchefolk,
der leder op til vores pitching-konkurrence,
Queering the Pitch. Vi ønsker ganske enkelt at
give LGBTQ+-filmskabere muligheden for at
virkeliggøre det projekt, de altid har drømt om
at kreere.
MIX COPENHAGEN ville ikke være blevet til,
hvis det ikke var for alt det hårde arbejde fra
frivillige. I den forbindelse vil vi gerne takke
enhver som har doneret deres tid og indsats
gennem de sidste 35 år. Uden vores frivillige
og publikum havde vi ikke klaret den gennem
alle disse år. Tak for alt jeres hårde arbejde og
tak til vores publikum for at møde talstærkt
op hvert år! Lad os alle fejre det sammen.
I år ser vi altså både tilbage på vores 35 år
som filmfestival og sår nye frø, så fremtidens
LGBTQ+-filmtalenter kan blomstre og trives.
Vi ses i mørket  See you in the dark
MIX COPENHAGEN 2020
WELCOME to MIX COPENHAGEN’s 35th
anniversary festival. We have been working
overtime this year to bring you something
special. Despite all that 2020 has thrown
our way, we have high expectations for our
anniversary and have made exciting additions
to the festival as a whole.
As the leading LGBTQ+ Film Festival of the
Nordics we are showcasing the best of queer
nordic talent in our short film program
Nordic Lights (p.18), which will be joined this
year, by three documentaries under Nordic
Cinema (p.20).
We are proud to present, for the first time,
the MIX Industry Weekend. Featuring a series
of events, from networking opportunities to
advice from industry professionals, leading
up to our pitching competition, Queering
the Pitch. We are excited to give LGBTQ+ film
makers a springboard from which they can
make their ambitions a reality.
The whole may be greater than the sum of
its parts, however MIX COPENHAGEN would
not have come to be without the hard work
of volunteers. We want to thank each and
every individual who has donated their time
and effort over the last 35 years. Thank you
for working so hard, and thank you to our
audience for coming out every year! Let us all
celebrate together.
This year we not only look back at our 35
years as a film festival, but have planted the
seeds for new LGBTQ+ filmmakers to bloom
and thrive.

 En bemærkning fra
programlæggerne
• DK I 35 år har vi og de forrige frivillige arbejdet hårdt for at give
København det bedste LGBTQ+-filmverdenen har at byde på. For at fejre
vores position som den ældste og største LGBTQ+ film festival i Norden,
har vi i år opbygget en solid grundpille af lokalt talent i vores tema
Nordic Cinema med titlerne Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (s.21), Silence
and Swords (DK) (s.22), Always Amber (SE) (s.21) og i vores tilbagevendende
publikumsfavorit Nordic Lights (s.18).
Vores dedikerede fokus på debuterende queer-talent reflekteres i
vores program, hvor vores åbnings- og lukke-film, No Hard Feelings og
I Carry You With Me begge er debutfilm. Faktisk er hele otte af vores i alt
45 spillefilm debutfilm dette år.
Vi tror på queer modstandsbevægelser og vigtigheden af at skabe
alliancer mellem queer- og minoritetsfestivaler, så til vores 35. Jubilæum
har vi bedt seks queer filmfestivaler fra hele verden om at dele en
kortfilm med os, som relaterer til temaet Riot. Vi støtter andre festivaler,
der inspirerer os; de, som med et væld af odds imod sig arbejder hårdt
for at skabe queer rum, og som på trods af modstand holder ud.
Se deres udvalg og læs mere om de forskellige festivaler i
kortfilmsprogrammet Riot (s.52).
Sidste år fremhævede vi en mangel på lesbisk repræsentation i nyere
film og lavede et retrospektivt program med vores yndlings lesbiske
film fra 90’erne. Vi arbejder videre på problemet med manglende
repræsentation i 2020 med fokus på Black Queer Cinema med både
klassiske og nutidige titler. Se Tongues Untied (s.55), Pariah (s.56), Destiny
(s.55) og Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story (s.57).
Sidst, men ikke mindst, vil vi nødigt have at i går glip af alt det
saftige. Som altid har vi et suverænt udvalg af porno som fejrer vores
kalejdoskopiske seksualitet. Se Ask Any Buddy (s.27), Bloodsisters (s.48),
Dry Wind (s.33), og This Is How We Do It (s.34).
Men lad ikke kun os guide dig til hvad du skal lede efter, udforsk selv
og find dine egne skatte i dette års program. Der er mange.

Note from the
programmers
• EN For 35 years, we and the volunteers before us, have been
working hard to bring the best of queer cinema to Copenhagen.
To celebrate our position as the oldest and largest LGBTQ+ film
festival in the Nordics, this year we are centering a strong core
of local talent, in our theme Nordic Cinema, with titles such
as Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (p.21), Silence and Swords (DK)
Lili-pris nomineret
(p.22), Always Amber (SE) (p.21), and in our recurring audience-

favorite shorts program Nordic Lights (p.18).
Our dedication to focusing on debuting queer talent, is Lili Award nominee
reflected in our program. Our opening film as well as our read about the award on p. 77
closing film, No Hard Feelings and I Carry You With Me
respectively, are both first features. In fact, eight of our in
total 45 full length films this year are first features.
We believe in queer resistance and the importance of
alliance among queer and minority festivals, so for our 35th
anniversary we invited six queer film festivals from around
the world to share a short film which embodies the theme Riot.
We support the work of other festivals that inspire us; who
work hard to create queer spaces against a multitude of odds Publikumspris
and who persevere in trying times. See their selection and read nomineret
more about the festivals in the short film program Riot (p.52). læs mere om prisen på s. 76
Last year we highlighted a void in lesbian representation
in current films and created a retrospective program of our
Audience Award
favorite lesbian films from the 90s. Continuing the practice of
nominee
read about the award on p. 76
uncovering weak spots in representation in 2020, this year we
focus on Black Queer Cinema and bring you both classics and
contemporary titles. See Tongues Untied (p.55), Pariah (p.56),
Destiny (p.55) and Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-
Copeland Story (p.57).
Finally, we don’t want you to miss out on all the juice. As
usual we have a great selection of porn to celebrate the sexual
deviants that we are. See Ask Any Buddy (p.27), Bloodsisters
(p.48), Dry Wind (p.33) and This Is How We Do It (p.34).
But don’t let us tell you what to look for, explore and find
your gems in this year’s MIX program. There are many.
See you in the dark

 Fotopolitik
Photo policy
• DK Billeder og videoer af vores events har altid bidraget til den samlede
MIX-oplevelse ved at indfange særlige øjeblikke, som vi deler med
publikum på platforme som vores hjemmeside og sociale medier. For
at gøre vores events mere tilgængelige og skabe tryggere rum, har vi
udviklet en fotopolitik, som beskriver specifikationerne for fotografering
ved alle MIX CPH events.

• Alle fotofrie events vil være tydeligt markeret inden eventet starter.
• Forpremierer er altid fotofri.
• Hvis et event ikke er markeret som fotofrit,
vil der blive fotograferet til arrangementet.
• Events med en særlig fotopolitik vil være tydeligt markeret i beskrivelsen,
f.eks. når der ikke tages fotos af publikum.
• Fotografer vil blive introduceret inden et event begynder, og folk er meget
velkomne til at fortælle en fotograf, hvis man ikke ønsker fotos af sig selv delt.

Har I spørgsmål eller kommentarer kan I skrive til os på pr@mixcopenhagen.dk

• EN Pictures and videos of our events have always enhanced the MIX
experience by capturing special moments that we share with our audience
on platforms such as our website and social media. However, to make our
events more accessible and create safer spaces, we’ve developed a photo
policy, which lays out the specifics of photographing at all MIX CPH events.

• All photo free events will be clearly labelled prior to the start of an event.
• Preview events are always photo free.
• If the event is not labelled as photo free, the event will be photographed.
• Events with a special photo policy will be clearly labelled in
the event description e.g. audience will not be photographed.
• Photographers will be introduced prior to the start of an event and we
welcome people to ask the photographer not to post photos of them.

If you have questions or comments, please contact us at pr@mixcopenhagen.dk

for at undslippe det hele og udtrykke sig selv.
Vi møder Prelle på et tidspunkt i hendes liv, hvor

nødt til at skabe nye måder at finde vej i livet på.

classic documentary, music video, and magical
realism, Anita Beikpour’s directorial debut is
an honest portrayal of this young, charismatic
nonconformist.

som voksne udforske den mandlige identitet, omgivet af
Nordeuropas vilde landskaber. Med sig har de et telt og

masturbate together. At least that’s how the two young

With a tent and a slightly cliché list of all the things they
need to experience, they explore male identity in the vast
wilderness of Northern Europe. This educational journey
puts their friendship to the test, and forces them into a

Cinema har altid velsignet os med klassikere. Da
dette års filmudvalg var begrænset, valgte vi at kigge
i arkiverne og bringe dig nogle must-see-film derfra.
Fra coming-of-age fortællinger i Pariah og Destiny til
den eksperimentelle film Tongues Untied og til sidst
en moderne hyldest til ældre transpersoner i Keyboard

• ENFrom Looking for Langston to Moonlight, Black

Queer Cinema has always blessed us with classics.
As this year’s selection was limited, we decided to
look back and bring you some must-see films. From
coming-of-age stories in Pariah and Destiny to the
experimental cinema in Tongues Untied, and finally a
modern homage of trans elders in Keyboard Fantasies:
The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story.

David Morrow
• DK ‘Black men loving Black men is the
revolutionary act’. Tongues Untied skildrer
sorte, homoseksuelle mænd i USA og
præsenterer os for deres kulturer og
perspektiver, imens de mødes af racisme,
homofobi og marginalisering. Filmen var et
kunstnerisk nybrud i 1989 ved sin blanding
af poesi, musik og performance, og Riggs’
selvbiografiske afsløringer. Filmen er blevet
hyldet af anmeldere for sin vision og
dristige, æstetiske eksperimenter, og regnes
fortsat som anerkendt frontløber hvad
elegant selviscenesættelse angår.
• EN ‘Black men loving Black men is the
revolutionary act’. Tongues Untied depicts
black, gay men in the US and presents their
cultures and perspectives to the world as
they confront racism, homophobia, and
marginalization. It broke new artistic
ground in 1989 by mixing poetry, music,
performance, and Riggs’ autobiographical
revelations. The film has been lauded by
critics for its vision and bold, aesthetic
advances, and it remains a celebrated
vehicle for eloquent self-expression and
liberation.
Destiny

FREDAG 30 OKT
kl. 21:15 @Cinemateket
• DK I Mohamed Camaras Destiny er
romantikken mellem Manga og Sori
i centrum. Problematikken opstår, da
deres forældre får færten af deres forhold
og sætter alt ind for at sikre, at de to
unge drenge stopper med at se hinanden.
Dette udløser en serie af hændelser, der
påvirker forholdet mellem Manga og
Sori. Men på trods af utallige forsøg på at
vride dem fra hinanden, synes Manga og
Sori bundet af en fælles skæbne.
• EN Mohamed Camara’s Destiny centers
on the romance between Manga and
Sori. Trouble ensues when their parents
discover their relationship and do
everything in their power to ensure the
two young boys stop seeing each other.
In doing so they trigger a ripple effect
that brings more people in between
Manga and Sori, but try as they might it
seems they are each other’s fate.

 Pariah
Dee Rees / USA, 2011
Feature / 86 min / English

LØRDAG 31 OKT
kl. 21:30 @Cinemateket

• DK Dee Rees’ Pariah fra 2011 er den lesbiske klassiker der

omhandler Alike, en 17-årig student med et flair for poesi. Mens
hun roligt men fast omfavner hendes identitet som lesbisk, leder
Alike ivrigt efter at få en kæreste. Alt imens at hun kæmper
for at kunne betro sig til sin familie midt i hendes forældres
ægteskabskrise. Da Alikes mor presser hende til at møde Bina,
kommer det bag på Alike, hvor meget hun nyder Binas selskab.

• EN Dee Rees’ 2011 film Pariah is a lesbian classic that follows

Alike, a diligent 17-year-old student with a flair for poetry. As
she gradually embraces her lesbian identity she eagerly seeks
her first lover, but struggles to confide in her family, especially
given that her parents’ marriage is already strained. When Alike’s
mother pushes her to meet Bina, Alike finds herself unexpectedly
enjoying her company.

FREDAG 30 OKT
Q&A with director
kl. 18:45 @Cinemateket

• DK I 1986 skrev og udgav Glenn-Copeland albummet Keyboard

Fantasies, hvis numre er kendt som en særpræget folk-electronica
hybrid—en lyd, der var forud for sin tid. Tre årtier senere, efter
en genudgivelse af pladen og efterfølgende indspilninger af
fremtrædende musikere, fandt Keyboard Fantasies endelig
sit publikum. Vi følger i denne dokumentar af samme navn
Copeland forevige sit liv og sin musik på lærredet for første gang
på en måde, der lader trans—og LGBTQ+—seniorer sætte sig i
forbindelse med ungdommen over hele kloden.

• EN In 1986 Glenn-Copeland wrote and self-released the album

Keyboard Fantasies, which featured a curious folk-electronica
hybrid—a sound realised before its time. Three decades
later, a reissue of the record and subsequent recordings by
prominent musicians, the album finally found its audience.
This documentary under the same title follows Copeland as he
commits his life and music to the silver screen for the first time,
connecting trans and LGBTQ+ elders with youth across the globe.

• DK Colm har tilsyneladende et behageligt
liv: en lederstilling i Dublins havn, to børn
og en sød, loyal kone. Efter farens død bliver
Colms følelsesliv vendt på hovedet, og den
nedadgående spiral fortsætter, da han bliver
fyret. Fastlåst i kraftig druk og ude af stand til
at betro sig til sin hustru, føler Colm sig draget
af Jay—en 19-årig, der beskæftiger sig med
sexarbejde. Deres seksuelle og komplicerede
venskab bliver Colms eneste trøst—men denne
hensynsløshed sætter hans familieliv i fare.
• EN Colm has a seemingly good life: A
managerial job in Dublin’s docks, two children,
and a kind, loyal wife. After the death of his
father, Colm’s emotional life cracks open, and
his downward spiral continues when he is laid
of from his job. Drinking heavily and unable to
confide in his wife, Colm finds himself drawn
to Jay, a 19-year-old who dabbles in sex work.
Their sexual encounters and tentative friendship
become Colm’s only solace, but this recklessness
puts his family life at risk.

• DK Aliya har netop vundet i Green Card-
lotteriet, der gør det muligt for hende at
immigrere til USA. I dette vidunderligt
observerende portræt af det postsovjetiske
Kasakhstan navigerer Aliya nyttesløsheden
ved at bo på et sted med få muligheder for at
opbygge det liv, hun ønsker sig—alt sammen
mens hun forsøger at finde en måde hvorpå,
hun kan fortælle dem, at hun rejser.
• EN In this wonderfully observant slice-
of-life portrait of post-Soviet Kazakhstan,
Aliya has just won the Green Card Lottery
that enables her to immigrate to the United
States. The futility of living somewhere
with little opportunity to build the life she
desires, compounded with her complex
responsibilities—navigating her affair with a
woman in another relationship, her sister’s
unhappiness in a strict marriage, keeping her
aging mother company—makes it difficult
to find a way to tell them all she’s leaving it
behind.

 Industry Weekend
• DK I år lancerer MIX COPENHAGEN LGBTQ+
Film Festival en ny serie af arrangementer
under paraplyen MIX Industry Weekend. Vores
mål er at være en ressource for lokalt talent og
at styrke uafhængig filmproduktion. Som den
største og ældste LGBTQ+-filmfestival i Norden
stræber MIX COPENHAGEN også efter at blive
et samlingspunkt for branchefolk, hvor
lokale filmskabere kan møde internationale
fagfolk, der repræsenterer forskellige LGBTQ+-
filmorganisationer, -festivaler, -distributører
og -producenter.
MIX COPENHAGEN har i de sidste 35 år været
en begivenhed, som har skabt sammenhold i
queer-samfundet i København. En præstation,
vi ikke skammer os over at sige, vi er stolte
af. Vores hovedfokus har været både at vise
København det allerbedste LGBTQ+-film har
at byde på, og samtidig at skabe rum, at
møes i, der opfylder lokalsamfundets behov.
Dette vil forblive vores vigtigste mål. Vi tror
på, at vi kan gøre festivalen stærkere, og
dermed mere brugbar for lokalsamfundet
og LGBTQ+-filmindustrien, ved at skabe
relevante branchebegivenheder, der vil gøre
MIX COPENHAGEN til en fremtrædende aktør i
queer-filmkredsløbet.
Hvis du er filmskaber med base i Danmark,
vil vi gerne høre fra dig. Hvad enten du er
etableret eller lige har påbegyndt din karriere,
vil vi gerne have, at du er en del af et netværk
af lokale queer-filmskabere, der kan dele
ressourcer og muligheder med hinanden.
Det indebærer også muligheden for at deltage
i MIX COPENHAGENs relevante debatter, og
foredrag. Kontakt os via
industry@mixcopenhagen.dk.

• EN This year MIX COPENHAGEN LGBTQ+ Film
Festival is launching a new series of events
under the umbrella of MIX Industry Weekend.
Our goal is to be a resource for local talent
and boost queer independent cinema. As the
biggest and oldest queer film festival in the
Nordics, MIX COPENHAGEN is also aspiring
to become a gathering point for industry
professionals, where local filmmakers can
meet international professionals representing
different queer film organisations, festivals,
distributors and producers.
MIX COPENHAGEN has brought together
the queer community of Copenhagen for
the last 35 years, an achievement we’re
immensely proud of. Our perpetual goal has
been not only to bestow Copenhagen with
the best queer cinema has to offer, but also
to create spaces that cater to the needs of
the local community. By hosting relevant
industry events we believe we can strengthen
MIX COPENHAGEN’s status on the queer film
circuit, making the festival more beneficial to
the local community and broader queer film
industry.
If you’re a filmmaker from the community
and are based in Denmark, we want to hear
from you. Whether you’re well-established or
just starting your career, we welcome you to
join a network of local queer filmmakers to
share resources and exchange opportunities.
As a result you will have the opportunity to
participate in the debates, talks, and panels
presented by MIX COPENHAGEN. Contact us at

• DK MIX COPENHAGEN har altid bestræbt sig på at kunne
skabe plads til vores publikum, så I kan opleve den bedste
internationale, queer filmkunst. I år har vi sat et nyt mål
om ikke bare at bringe queer film til København, men også
at skabe flere muligheder for lokale filmskabere. Vi er derfor
stolte af at annoncere, at vi i anledning af MIX COPENHAGENs
35-års jubilæum lancerer en kortfilms-pitchingkonkurrence i
samarbejde med Odense Filmværksted.
Vores mål er at opfordre alle unge filmskabere til at skabe
den queer filmkunst, der vil være toneangivende for den
næste generations lokale talenter. Vi har derfor inviteret alle
med en relevant idé eller manuskript til at indsende deres bud.
Konkurrencen er åben for fiktion, dokumentarer eller webserier
i kortfilmsformat, der behandler relevante LGBTQ+-emner og
-temaer.
Vinderprojektet bliver tildelt en pris i form af et beløb på
20.000 kroner til produktionsomkostninger samt udstyrsleje til
en værdi af 50.000 kroner fra Odense Filmværkstedet. Derudover
bliver vinderen også garanteret en plads i vores Nordic Lights
program, der vil blive vist ved MIX COPENHAGEN 2021.
Nordic Lights er et kortfilmsprogram, der ikke blot er en
favorit blandt vores publikum, men som også bliver vist på
flere udenlandske festivaler hvert år. Der er derfor garanteret
international eksponering til det vindende projekt.
Konkurrencen forløber i to faser: Første fase er at indsende en
skriftlig ansøgning. Alle ansøgninger vil blive taget i betragtning,
og i anden fase får de udvalgte mulighed for at pitche deres
projekt foran et publikum og en jury bestående af anerkendte
branchefolk. Vinderen bliver valgt efter pitchingfasen den
25. oktober. Al information om MIX COPENHAGENs Pitching
konkurrence 2020 kan findes mixcopenhagen.dk/industry

 • EN MIX COPENHAGEN has always strived to create spaces for our audience in which you
can experience the best of international, queer cinema. This year we challenged ourselves
to create more opportunities for local filmmakers, while continuing to bring queer film
to Copenhagen. In celebration of MIX’s 35th anniversary, we are proud to announce the
launch of our short film pitching competition in collaboration with Odense Filmværksted.
The aim is to encourage filmmakers to create queer cinema that will help guide the
next generation of local talent, and we invite everyone with a relevant idea or script to
submit them for consideration. The competition is open to short fiction, documentary, or
web series pilots that have relevant LGBTQ+ themes and subject matter.
The winning project is awarded a monetary prize of 20.000 DKK to cover production
costs, 50.000 DKK worth of film equipment rental from Odense Filmværkstedet, and a
guaranteed spot in the Nordic Lights short film program that will be screened in MIX
COPENHAGEN 2021. Nordic Lights is an audience-favourite film program at MIX CPH that is
also screened at several other festivals throughout the year, thus ensuring international
exposure. The competition consists of two stages, starting with a written application.
All applications will be considered and a shortlist will be selected. At this second stage,
applicants will have an opportunity to pitch their project live to a jury of renowned
professionals and an audience. The winner will be selected after the live pitching
session on October 25th. You can find all information about MIX COPENHAGEN’s pitching

• DK Det er notorisk svært at slå igennem
i filmindustrien. Uden at kende de rigtige
mennesker er det svært at få foden indenfor. Det
er endnu sværere for queer-filmskabere, der skal
overkomme yderligere udfordringer i en branche,
der stadig stort set er domineret af hetero-
cis-mænd. Med dette panel ønsker vi at give
nye filmskabere værktøjer til at håndtere disse
situationer. Paneldeltagerne deler ud af deres egne
oplevelser, erfaringer og råd om, hvordan man
f.eks. overvinder de indledende forhindringer og
skaber kontakter, samt hvilke udfordringer man
som LGBTQ+-person kan komme ud for i sit forsøg
på at bryde igennem i industrien.
• EN It is notoriously difficult to achieve succes
in the film industry. Without knowing the right
people, it can be a tricky business to navigate.
These difficulties are even more pronounced for
LGBTQ+ filmmakers, who face additional obstacles
in a field largely dominated by straight, cis men.
With this panel, we want to empower novice
filmmakers with a set of tools to handle situations
they may face. Our panelists will share their
own experiences and advice on topics such as
overcoming initial barriers, making contacts, and
navigating obstacles faced specifically by queer
people who wish to have their break through in

ÆNDRINGER OG AFLYSNINGER Der tages forbehold
for trykfejl, ændringer og aflysninger i

må aflyse film pga. tekniske problemer, og det
kan forekomme, at filmkopien ikke er kommet
frem i tide. Ændringer vil blive annonceret på
mixcopenhagen.dk.
ADGANG Cinemateket og Empire Bio har
niveaufri adgang. Som oftest er der kun en eller
to kørestolspladser i hver sal, hvorfor det er
nødvendigt at booke billet telefonisk i god tid.
UNDERTEKSTER Vi bestræber os på at skaffe
filmprint med undertekster, men da filmene ofte
er helt nye, er dette ikke altid muligt.

announced on mixcopenhagen.dk.
ACCESSIBILITY The Cinematheque and Empire Bio
both have wheelchair access. However, seating
