PROGRAMME

DOCKAN GLICK / A DOLL NAMED GLICK
Uta Arning, SE 2026, 11 Min
COMING-OF-AGE, FAMILY, FICTION
It’s Danielle’s birthday, and once again her mother has no time for her. Instead, the nine-year-old receives a visit from a strange yet warm-hearted puppet who introduces himself as Moishe Glick: her grandfather, who chats with her in Yiddish.

MISCHMASCH
Uta Arning, SE 2023, 28 Min
DOC, ENCOUNTERS
A play of contrasts: an amateur theatre group stages August Strindberg’s A Dream Play – in Yiddish! Of all works, this one is often considered humourless, and its author is regarded by some as antisemitic.

PARENTS
Jonas Lajboschitz, DK 2025, 19 Min
FICTION, FAMILY, DRAMA
Thirty-five-year-old Noah cares for his father, who has dementia – a life shaped by routine, affection, and grief, as he is also coping with another devastating loss. How and when might a normal life begin again, and what does that even mean?

SNIPPED
Alexander Saul, DK 2025, 14 Min
FICTION, HUMOR, ENCOUNTERS
A convert on the operating table, a Muslim doctor – and a circumcision: this clever, fast-paced comedy tackles identity, masculinity and coexistence with a sharp scalpel and even sharper wit.
