DR Sales Boards CPH:DOX Existential and Playful Opener ‘Life and Other Problems,’ Debuts Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
CPH:DOX’s opener ‘Life & Other Problems’ from 'Blue Collar White Christmas' helmer Max Kestner has been snapped up by DR Sales.
Copenhagen-based DR Sales has snapped up international rights on the anticipated opening film of the 21st CPH:DOX Festival, “Life and Other Problems.” Variety debuts the trailer below. Commenting on the DR Sales pick up, Kim Christiansen, executive producer, in charge of documentaries and co-productions, says: “Max Kestner has for decades been one of the most intelligent filmmakers in Denmark, and I have personally been a huge fan since his 2002 TV series ‘Blue Collar White Christmas,’ which in tone and humor was way ahead of its time.” Combining philosophical reflections with a scientific vantage point from experts such as biologists Karen Lloyd, Eske Willerslev and Charles Foster, author of the New York Times best-seller “Being a Beast,” Kestner explores how we humans perceive life, our own position in the ecosystem and connection to other species.
