DFI's Film

The Danish Association of Film Critics has awarded their Bodils. I found this news via a tiny URL printed on the back of issue #41 of Film, a publication from the Danish Film Institute, handed out as a freebie at the Berlinale. I've been reading this thing off and on ever since the festival and only tonight thought... I wonder if this stuff is online.

The DFI's "Articles & Publications" suggests at first glance that only selected older pieces are, but in fact, issues #41, #39 and #36 are downloadable as PDF files. You want them. In #41, for example, Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier talk about Dear Wendy. Nicholas Winding Refn discusses the first of his two sequels to Pusher. There's a chat with Vivian Wu. And of course, there's much ado about Jacob Thuesen's Berlinale entry, Accused.

#36 features a healthy section on women directors (you know more Danish women directors than you think: Susanne Bier and Lone Scherfig for starters) and #39 is all about docs. Plus, these are Danish magazines, after all. Very handsomely designed.
