CPH:DOX 2015 NB /4

 

Anne Wivels nye film Mand Falder med maleren Per Kirkeby bliver åbningsfilm på CPH:DOX 2015 og umiddelbart efter vises filmen i samarbejde med DOXBIO i en række biografer.

He had previously recovered from a brain haemorrhage and two blood clots, but the fall on the stairs two years ago resulted in a brain injury that prevents him from working. He has not just lost his mobility, but also the ability to recognise colours and even his own art works.
