Who would have thought that it was so difficult to make a small film? It looks easy, but there are so many buttons to choose from on such a video camera thingy, and if you haven't tried before, you could end up messing up completely. And this is exactly what happens to Bodil during her first attempt: what should have been a cozy home video in an amusement park turns into a documentary that soberly records its own chaotic making. But it's not always that easy to watch a film. Especially not if you think that everything you see is as simple and straight-forward as it looks. The Danish director Elin Kristine Kromann's learning-by-doing piece, however, ends up being one of the funniest and most inventive film-on-film films you've seen for a long time.

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new programme.
