Documentary - Christiania a free way of life - 2013 - VOSTFR

➽ Discover the Danish utopian city in a authenthic documentary

➽ In Denmark, there is an atypical example of an alternative
community. It all began in 1971, when a group of young people
decided to move into an old disused military base located in the
heart of Copenhagen. Little by little, the organization developed
and a collective society took shape. That's how Christiana started.

➽ This alternative community proposes a new model of society based
on solidarity and freedom. Welcoming people from all
geographical and social origins, Christiania is also a place of artistic
creativity. Every individual, musicians, painters and original
architects takes part in the development of the community.

➽ The residents, aware of society issues within modern civilization,
experience a new way of life which seeks the respect of
environment and returns to basic principles of democracy.
This documentary also displays problems within christianites: they
had to repurchase the land from the danish government and to face
the issues relating to the free use of drugs in Pusher Street. Through
this testimony, they show us that their project is a daily struggle but
also a necessary space of freedom.

➽ After the controversies relating to the possible dismantling of
Christiania, this film was released in 2013.

➽ The director bears witness to this unusual social experience
allowing its main representatives such as the police head of
Copenhagen, Per Larsen, Christiana TV journalist , Tanja Bjørn Zabell
or the alternative musician Joker to express themselves.

➽ Christiania: a free way of life, with its original soundtrack and
photography, invites the viewer to gain inside to what this danish
community stands for .By doing so, it allows a fresh look at the
issues of the 21st century.

➽ The documentary was selected for the Medimed Festival 2016 and
broadcast to the Cinéma Etoile in Lille and the preview was in Instants Chavirés in Paris in 2013.
