Sometimes your dreams are only half-fulfilled because the people close to you don't dare to share a dream...
...but we always should go after our dreams, even if they are so strange as the ears of Asbjørn...

2 female songwriters with Danish roots and 2 things more in common: A place and a film director
The muse of the indie scene in Spain Christina Rosenvinge...

A liar to love...

Guide for the "new poor"
"Catharsis" or "emotional cleansing", this is what I felt when I came out from the cinema today after watching The Good Life by Eva Mulvad, in the Nordisk Panorama film festival.
This tragicomic documentary shows the everyday life of two Danish women, mother and daughter, living in the beautiful Portuguese town of Cascais. They used to be rich but they are "the new poors" now, unable to adapt themselves to their new reality and living stuck in the sweet memories from a lost past that will never come back...
"Work is still a taboo word for me", says Anne Mette to her mother, when they are unable to pay the rent because they only have 20 € to spend the rest of the month.
Later on she tells us that "the new poors are doing worse than the new richs", complaining all the time about their bad fate and blaming on her parents because they never told her how to survive on her own in real world...
Anyway, Anne Mette still shows a good sense of humor, being social and able to enjoy the small things of life from time to time.
That's why I've decided to write this small guide for the "new poors":
1. Walk on the sunny side of the street
2. If it's rainy and you prefer to stay at home, read that book that you never finished, with a cup of your favorite tea / coffee.
3. Open the window, breath deep and smile.
4. Talk to that stranger that smiled at you in the street the other day

5. Drop fast food and buy something new in the market, for the price of cheap street food, you can cook something special at home
6. Call to that friend that always makes you laugh
And remember: The best things in life are for free!

Bald men are sexy in Århus...
... At least in Nordisk Panorama Film Festival!!
I know several men that would be very happy to hear this assertion about their sex appeal, and Maria Bock, the director of this crazy Norwegian short musical, was able to persuade us last night in a very unusual and funny way, when the Nordisk Panorama showed several experimental short films in Klostertorv

The night was cold and a bit rainy, but you don't have the chance to enjoy these kind of movies everyday, specially outdoors and for free, just around the corner.
Imagine that Fritz Lang could shoot the society he showed us in "Metropolis" again, but in the XXI century and in the wild nature Faroe Islands instead of big cities and fabrics...
The result could be something like "Magma" by the film tandem Rammatik (M. Mørkøre and R. Kárádóttir)
This unique festival takes place every year in one of this Scandinavian cities: Oulu (Finland), Bergen (Norway), Reykjavik (Iceland), Malmö (Sweden) and Århus.
So I have the chance to enjoy it "at home" once every 5 years. If you live in Århus, don't think twice and take the opportunity of experiencing the work of new Nordic film talents in your own city and for free!!
