DENMARK PARTICIPATES IN THE 33RD CAIRO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

The 33rd Cairo International Film Festival takes place from 10 - 20 November, a starstudded event which takes place each year.

Denmark is participating with two of the latest movies.

HEADHUNTER
A thriller set in the upper echelons of the business world. Martin Vinge, a former hardcore reporter, now a successful headhunter with a complicated personal life, lands a confidential assignment to locate a new heir to Denmark's biggest shipping and oil empire. As Martin starts searching for potential candidates, he soon realises that he is becoming entangled in a far-reaching, impenetrable power game for the corporation's future, a brutal ploy that brings excruciating pressure to bear on Martin and the people he loves.

Director: Rumle Hammerich




CAMPING
A tragicomic tale about the gloomy Connie Nielsen who has been emotionally detached since her father two years earlier committed suicide – on his birthday of all days! Connie's mother, Bodil, has taken to the bottle and lives through her 1982 participation in The Eurovison Song Contest; and Connie's kid brother, Christian, has become an overweight bully beating up those smaller than him. To put it mildly, time seems to have ceased and the family ties are hanging by a thread. The otherwise annual caravan trip to the Danish island Langeland was buried along with the father and hasn't been repeated since – until now!

Director: Jacob Bitsch
