Poster for The Wedding Singer's Daughter

2018 · ★ 4.0 (4)

It's nighttime in 1980s Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Glittery and glamorous heels climb out of cars. Women shrouded in traditional black abayas make their way into a wedding hall. There, they reveal what's underneath: dazzling dresses and wild hair. Their true selves set free, unseen by male gaze. There are strict segregation rules in Saudi weddings. All eyes and ears are on the wedding singer, until the electricity cuts out suddenly. "This is the worst wedding singer ever," guests mutter, condescendingly. Will the young daughter manage to save her mother's dignity?

Poster for Cirkusrevyen 2022

2022 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Cirkusrevyen 2022 looks back on the past year with powerful satire and entertainment in a class of its own. Experience Merete Mærkedahl's parody of the prime minister, Pernille Schrøder as Pia Kjærsgaard, and Niels Olsen, Henrik Lykkegaard, and Carsten Svendsen as three eager cyclists who 'fill the whole road'. Cirkusrevyen is a festive extravaganza of sharp and funny lyrics, beautiful dance numbers, and a talented house orchestra. This year's revue ends with a beautiful tribute to Lisbet Dahl, who has directed the revue in the tent for the last time.

Jack Lane (William Stowell) has made an invention for photographing wild animals. It consists of a camera with a trigger -- when the trigger is stepped on by a passing animal, a flash goes off and the camera shoots the picture. Lane goes up to the mountains to try out his new contraption. When a recluse refuses to let him spend the night in his cabin, Lane goes to sleep out of doors, with the camera set up near by. In the middle of the night, he is awakened by the flash and the sound of gunshots. Trekking back to his own cabin the next day, he develops the picture, which is of a girl holding a rifle. He returns to the recluse's cabin where he is arrested for murder.
