The Danish documentary Life and Other Problems is set to open the 21st edition of #CPH:DOX, taking place from 13-24 March, 2024, in Copenhagen. Directed by #Max Kestner#, the film delves into existential questions, exploring the nature of life, #consciousness, and interconnectedness.

The documentary, also nominated for the #DOX:AWARD, revolves around a decade-old incident involving Marius the giraffe at the Copenhagen Zoo. However, Kestner transforms this event into a philosophical exploration, seeking answers from scientists like Charles Foster and Eske Willerslev.

Life and Other Problems aims to challenge worldviews, stimulating thought while maintaining a creative and unpredictable narrative. Kestner’s approach, marked by curiosity and an open mind, turns the film into a journey that leaves audiences both enlightened and entertained.
