MOVE THE NORTH CONNECTS FILM

We connect film and the film industry by hosting film-days, networking filmmakers and initiating joint projects. For example, “Danish Films on Screen” at Hamburg’s prestigious Kinemathek Metropolis and “Hamburg Shorts / Hamburg on Screen” in Copenhagen, invited audiences to experience local film treasures, blockbuster successes, as well as new work by up-and-coming filmmakers. We have invited filmmakers, festival directors and cinema directors to present their work in the neighbouring regions, among which are for example Danish actresses Ditte Hansen and Louise Mieritz, OFF-Festival director Birgitte Weinberger and Hamburg based filmmaker Ali Hakim.

MOVE THE NORTH CONNECTS ART & ARTISTS

Art thrives on movement and in interaction. Through encounters with other nations, new impulses can emerge. Therefore, we follow the mission to internationally bring together art and artists of all disciplines. From joint exhibitions to collaborative cross-border projects, it’s all about connecting and creating new experiences. With “City Tales” four photographers from Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö were invited to jointly design a project. The outcome of their work -to capture tales of their cities with their lens- was jointly distributed.
Move the North also thrives in combining different art forms, for example by featuring dance on the screen or bringing live music onto the theatre stage.
