"Experiment" at the "Nadezhda" film festival

On December 12, 2011 Danish film "Experiment" (Eksperimentet, 2010) will be presented in the framework of the 1st International St. Petersburg Film Festival "Nadezhda".

 

Film screening will be held on 6 p.m. at the "Aleko" Theater's Big Hall (42 Yuri Gagarin Prospekt).

"Experiment" became a feature film debut for Louise N. D. Friedberg, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Rikke de Fine Licht.

In 1952, Danish government officials select 16 Greenlandic children to participate in an experiment. They are removed from their families and accommodated in a children's home in Nuuk. Here, the headmistress is put in charge of turning them into good, Danish citizens in a long-term effort to bring Greenland out of its current state of destitution. This becomes an uphill battle.

"Experiment" is provided by the Danish Film Institute.
