Jeg har netop set det to timer lange værk igennem én gang mere. Jeg kan stadigvæk ikke forstå detaljerne, mangler forudsætninger, har skrevet en lang liste over ting, jeg skal sætte mig ind i. Men jeg tror, det er en meget vigtig film, en film, som sætter mange uomgængelige overvejelser i gang. Det er en pligtfilm. Skal Filmkommentarens læsere kun se én film i aften, må det absolut være denne.
Allan Berg Nielsen started the first documentary cinema in Randers, Denmark way back in the 1970’es. He did so at the museum, where he was employed. He got the (16mm) films from the collection of the National Film Board of Denmark (Statens Filmcentral). He organised a film festival in his home city, became a member of the Board of Directors of the Film Board, started to write about films in diverse magazines, were a juror at several festivals and wrote television critiques in the local newspaper. From 1998-2003 Allan Berg was documentary film consultant (commissioning editor) at The Danish Film Institute, a continuation of the Film Board. Since then free lance consultant in documentary matters.
