The Missing Films

Jacob Thuesen, Tómas Gislason, Denmark, 2025

75 min.DK/Documentary

Making film wears down director Lars von Trier, but he is not able to live without them. In the film this Danish auteur’s all-consuming love affection for film is portrayed. Now he is standing at a cross-road. While film as we know it is dying.
