Lea Glob

When Danish filmmaker Lea Glob first portrayed Apolonia Sokol in 2009, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented Apolonia was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community—the ultimate bohemian existence. In her 20s, she studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the years, Lea Glob kept returning to film the charismatic Apolonia and a special bond developed between the two young women.

They do what suits them, have a lot of temper and attitude, and often get up and down. In an instance of failure, abuse and violence, only the girlfriends are usually leaning up.

'Olmo and the Seagull' is a poetic and existential dive into an actress's mind during the nine months of her pregnancy as she must confront her most fiery inner demons while trying to rewrite a new philosophy of life, identity and love. Underlying this hybrid film is mounting tension over what is real and what is enacted when one is performing one's own life.

During casting sessions, young women from Copenhagen talk candidly about their sexual experiences. Initially, the two female directors wanted to make a film as a way of better understanding their own sexual desires and frustrations. In response to a casting call, more than a hundred ordinary young women turned up and talked straight into the camera about their erotic fantasies. As shooting progressed, the filmmakers realized that these intimate casting sessions should in fact be the final film.

Can you be a virgin, gay and into girls? This film is an intimate study of six homosexual boys. In the changing room some of the uncertainties and embarrassment's of youth emerge, such as the tale of hunky Peter, romance and the naff value of losing your virginity during a Disney movie.

Lea never met her father. One day, she was told by the police that he had committed suicide after 14 years in prison. This is a story about a father, a bank robber and a magician and about how his daughter got to know him backwards.
