Original

Presented by Klassefilm
Directed by Stig Guldberg

The Originals is a bittersweet and life-affirming documentary about a friendship between three men - all of them outsiders in their own way. The film portrays a form of brotherhood between grown-up men, what it has to offer and how rich, comical and terrible life on the edge can be.

The story is about writer and Boss-of-it-All, Lars Morell (59), and his two friends, anarchist Anders Gantriis (62) and artist Jens Jørgen Boje (55). Together they remain out of sync with our time and society - and now and again, with themselves and each other. Director, Stig Guldberg, has followed the ups and downs of the trio closely since 2010. The film is co-directed by Mads Kamp Thulstrup.

The Originals is a different type of Aarhus film - an homage to friendship, originality and life outside the mainstream in 2017. The story takes place in the city - home to both the main characters and the director.

Aarhus 2017 and the Central Denmark Region present THE BIG LITTLE FILM FESTIVAL, a weekend of films from talented international and local filmmakers showcasing storytelling, documentary, animation, commercial communication and experimentation. The festival is a rolling programme of short formats telling some of the unique stories of place, examine Danish DNA in satirical fashion, demonstrate aesthetics of difference and methodologies of approach.
