The almost 1500 Copenhageners who live on Lundtoftegade in the city’s Nørrebro district are in danger of ending up on the government’s so-called ‘hard ghetto list’, despite several years of social housing initiatives. And what do you do when you have tried everything? You call on the spiritual dimension for help! The collective performance project ‘The Healing’ must expel the evil forces before it’s too late and before 60% of the residents risk being forcibly relocated. With contributions from young and old – and with a deeply dedicated chairman of the residents’ association as their anchor – the community gets creative. But will the healing succeed?
The character of Mulan is one of Disney’s best heroines. She’s brave, kicks butt, and has a kill count. What other Disney character has killed hundreds of Huns by crushing them with an avalanche? No one.
Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale.

We sat down with Writer/Director Albert Acosta to discuss his debut short film, (ha-ha), Acosta's foray into narrative cinema, and how his personal experiences have shaped his filmmaking philosophy.
My Beautiful Laundrette is often referenced as a positive LGBTQIA+ film because our two main characters are in a homosexual relationship with no shame, fear of violence or criticism. The struggle is not their sexuality. It is the treatment of the Pakistani citizens in England.
I think that the happiness and survival of "Wynonna Earp"’s LGBTQ+ characters is incredibly refreshing in contrast to the prevalence of queer suffering and death in other television.
