Ada Bligaard Søby: Petey & Ginger

1. november på CPH:DOX får Ada Bligaard Søbys nyeste film premiere. Den har titlen Petey & Ginger – a testament to the awesomeness of mankind og på dens hjemmeside hedder det kontant om den: “When the global economy collapses the only true victors are those that weren’t invited to the boom. Petey & Ginger elegantly and honestly documents two very real characters who semi-happily live on the fringes of I-don’t-really-give-a-fuckville-and-that’s-okay-ish. Filmmaker Ada Bligaard Søby again invites us into her ongoing infatuation with the treasure that is the blissfully detached lives of American Losers. Take notes…”
