Dokumania Tanskassa. Tue Steen Müller. 05.01.09

Tue Steen Müller on innostunut siitä miten Tanskan YLE eli DR on sijoittanut dokumenttielokuvaohjelmapaikan erinomaiseen katseluaikaan eli 20.40 tiistaisin. Mette Hoffman-Mayerin ohjelmisto ei paljon poikkea Dokumentti-projektista, jossa Harvey Milk  dokumentti näkyy myös helmikuussa.
 
It is not very often you feel like praising the programming of a public broadcaster when it comes to documentaries. But what DR, the Danish public broadcaster, has done by introduction of the prime time slot (8.40pm every tuesday) Dokumania deserves to be mentioned. Here are the four coming documentaries to be broadcasted on these tuesdays starting from tonite. In original version with subtitles, with a good website (In Danish but with links to the film sites):

1)The excellent ”The Times of Harvey Milk” by Epstein and Schmiechen. Go to their site and see the trailer and how to get hold of it. 2) A Danish doc premiere about the rise and fall of the Danish political party, ”New Alliance”, by Christoffer Guldbrandsen. 3) Alex Gibney´s awarded ”Taxi to the Dark Side”, reviewed in Danish on filmkommentaren.dk. 4) Alan Berliner’s ”Wide Awake”, read about it on the HBO site and watch trailer and interview with the always interesting Berliner.
