Denmark's leading avant-garde filmmaker, Jorgen Leth has made some 20 films which range from documentary to fiction, and which have shown to wide acclaim in major European film festivals. A poet, journalist, playwright, and sportsman, Leth approaches filmmaking with a sense of experimentation born of his own intense curiosity about his subjects, leading one Berlin critic to comment, “Jorgen Leth is a very strange man. He's like a stranger from outer space who comes down here to register life in Denmark with open eyes.”
