COPENHAGEN DREAMS is director Max Kestner's documentary film portrait of
Denmark's capital. It's a film about the physical surroundings that are part
of shaping our lives. About the buildings we wake up in, the front doors we
walk out of, the streets we traverse. It is also a film about how the way we
live our lives affects our physical surroundings. About the places we dream of
and the walls onto which we scratch the names of our loved ones, before it's
too late.
COPENHAGEN DREAMS focuses on the city as a physical entity - quite literally.
The people are usually out of focus or on the periphery of the framework that
constitutes a central part of the film's aesthetic. This is to establish that
Copenhagen is the main character of the film; the people are just passing bit
players whose job it is to draw out the distinctive features of the
protagonist.
Music plays a big part in the film. According to J≤hann: "Max Kestner
approached me about writing the music for his documentary about Copenhagen.
For me the project echoed the silent "city symphonies", like Ruttman's Berlin:
Die Sinfonie der Gro▀stadt, Vigo's A Propos De Nice, or Vertov's Man With a
Movie Camera. Kestner's film shares with those films a desire to capture the
spirit, uniqueness, and poetry of a city by assembling images of everyday life
in that city. It is documentary in the poetic mode and I tried to capture this
mode in the music. The tone of Kestner's film constantly shifts from the
mundane to the lyrical, from the technocratic jargon of architects to the
everyday banter of commuters and coffee house guests, from dry factual
inventories to poetic meditations. I tried to reflect this in the music and to
make the music the poetic voice of the city, so the music becomes a character
of its own which binds the various levels of the film together."
CD limited to 150 copies.
