And pretty please take a picture for me, I would love to see the venue.
Founded in 1973, Husets Biograf is Copenhagen’s coziest movie theater and currently one of the last commercial cinema in Denmark that still screens “real” film (16mm and 35mm celluloid).

The festival received over 300 films in 2025, from documentaries to short films, experimental, animation and even music films, all focused in the poetic language of their work, and with an interest in the environmental messages or works that highlight our connection with the world around us.
Additionally, the festival hosts poetry performances, talks and panels, and often releases a limited edition poster, bookmarks, books and other environmentally-friendly, locally printed, recycled and recyclable objects to inspire you and invite you to take poetry with you wherever you go.
