Danish Silent Film | Athens | December 7

The Danish Institute in Athens is hosting a free screening of the 1910 landmark silent film "The Abyss" by Urban Gad, starring Asta Nielsen in a stunningly natural performance that helped earn the Danish actress international stardom - though it also got the film banned in Norway and Sweden, where it was considered too risque.

Antalya to host Connie Nielsen

Danish actress Connie Nielsen will be one of the guests to be welcomed at the 53rd Antalya Film Festival, where she will attend the opening night. 
Nielsen's latest film "The Confessions" is one of the films to compete in the International Film Competition category. 

The film's first screening will be on Oct. 18 at 12 p.m. at the Antalya Cultural Center (AKM).
