The Five Obstructions 15 de fem benspænd

Tuesday 21st November, 8.00pm (S)

Directors: Jørgen Leth & Lars von Trier, Documentary, 90 minutes, Denmark, 2003, Danish with English subtitles.

In 1967 Jørgen Leth made a 13 minute short film called The Perfect Human, a document on human behaviour. In 2000, filmmaker Lars Von Trier (Dogville) challenged Leth to make five remakes of his film, with specific obstructions that forced Leth to re-think his story and the characters of his film.

A game full of traps and vicious turns, The Five Obstructions is an investigative journey into the phenomenon of filmmaking.
