“As a transgender person, is it a political act to step outside your own front door? That is one of the discussions that unfolds between two of the cast members in the documentary ELSKER DET FOR DIG.”
ELSKER DET FOR DIG is a poetic and investigative documentary about transgender communities in Denmark. In an old-fashioned bathing establishment, we meet them, soft and bathrobe-clad, wherever they are in life; from the young newly in love from northern Jutland, to the childhood friends from Odsherred and the meeting between two parents with small and adult children. The surroundings encourage self care and Nordic traditions of well-being but also mirror a very old-fashioned healthcare system. In Denmark, access to treatment (such as hormones and surgery) is still limited, and often achieved through exhausting and humiliating processes. The internal sharing of knowledge, humor and care are therefore vital in transgender communities.

A documentary about the making of David Fincher's 2008 film THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. Virtually every element in the evolution of the Fincher's film is documented here, from the project's attachment to numerous other directors during the 1990s, to its shoot in 2006 and 2007 in New Orleans, to its complex, CGI-intensive postproduction process.
