60 seconds

Phie Ambo will participate in this rather cracy event in Tallinn on the 22nd. Each director contributes with a film of 60 seconds, which will be assembled and shown only one time at which event the film will be burnt in front of the audience.....!

Phie explains her motivation for participation like this:

I was hooked when I read that the film would be shown on 35 mm on the waterfront and burnt while playing. What a beautiful tribute to the elements! I really like that this project was invented out of pure joy and has absolutely no market value. This is very rare and wonderfully irrational.

My contribution shows one of corner stones of biodynamic farming - creating organic fertilizer.

If anyone is in Tallinn on that night, please send us a photo or a post card!

The Home Front in NY

The Home Front by Phie Ambo is selected for DocuWeeks and will be showing in New York 12-18th of August

TheHome Front is about conflicts in our private sphere: feuds between neighbors. The film follows a boundary inspector who mediates between disagreeing neighbors. We enter the homes of the feuding parties to learn about the conflicts from both sides. Why is it so difficult to solve a conflict so close at hand? And what do fences and hedges represent? Is this really what the conflicts are all about?

"The Good Life" at Roskilde Festival 2011

The documentary "The Good Life" is showing at Roskilde Festival 12 'o clock at the 28th of june. “The Good Life” is an entertaining tragi-comic story of glory and fall. But it is also a film about upbringing and overprotection in a family that had it all and ended up with nothing. A dark tale of a mother and daughter who dreamt that they could live happily ever after, but their fate wanted it differently …
We hope you enjoy your festival - and the movie of course.

Filmen er en film om opdragelse, forkælelse og fortrængninger i en familie, der havde alt og endte med intet. Et sort eventyr om en mor og en datter, der drømte om at leve lykkeligt til deres dages ende, men skæbnen ville det anderledes….
Vi glæder os til at vise dig den.
