The NatFilm Festival which attracted over 36,000 film aficionados last year, runs from March 28th until April 6th in the Danish capital, but also in the Swedish cities of Malmö and Lund. It will then continue showing its 143 films from April 9-13 in the Danish cities of Århus, Odense and Aalborg. The programme this year includes new films from France, Germany, sidebars dedicated to South Korean, Thai and Indian cinema, the European premiere of Kristian Levring’s The Intended, the Danish premieres of Nicolas Widing Refn’s Fear X, Morten Arnfred’s Move Me and Anders Thomas Jensen’s The Green Butchers. Special tributes will be given to the Swedish star Harriet Andersson -as the Cinematheque celebrates the 50th anniversary of her breakthrough in Ingmar Bergman’s Summer With Monica -, and Danish actor Ulrich Thomsen (Festen).

Although a non-competitive event, Natfilm will award its annual ‘Natsværmerpris’ of Dkr 25,000 (Euros 3.300) to a young promising Danish talent on its opening night and its Audience award with Dkr 100,000 (Euros13,400) to a film without a Danish distributor on its closing night.
