Karen Blixen - Isak Dinesen home

The Danish Film Institute has just announced the production of six new documentary films, including a new film about Karen Blixen.

Karen Blixen - Out of this World is directed by Marcus Mandal and Anna Lerche, who were also responsible for the TV success, "A Royal Family." Intended to satisfy the curiosity of her huge international audience, the film revolves around people who knew Karen Blixen personally.

The film is from the outset a success story about a strong, influential and powerful woman, who lives against the grain. But it is also a story about a deeply tortured individual who felt forsaken as a child, and who as an adult was severely torn between competing talents and experiences.

"Karen Blixen – Out of this world" which is produced by Nordisk Film TV, was supported by a grant of 250,000 kroner from DFI. The film will be distributed via a network of international television stations.
A spokesman for the Danish Film Institute, Morten Hartkorn, says about the six new films:

"These films are artistically impeccable, epic tales with large visual impact; many of them contribute to our knowledge of the subject; others have huge appeal for international television distribution. It is wonderful that producers of Danish documentaries—while maintaining a high artistic quality—also know how to appeal seriously to popular interest."
