I am very happy to hear that we will be able to include your wonderful film in our line-up for cph:dox 2004. We want to include Carpatia in the European side bar called '89 Millimeters'. 89 millimeters is the distance between railway tracks in Polen and in the Belarusse - a symbolic expression for the new border between the enlarged EU and it''s new nabours. The side bar focuses on questions of European identity - of the possibility of Europe as a union and on European inferiority in the new member countries. Carpatia is very important for us in this regard as it poetically and with an amazing beauty shows areas of Europe that most Danes don't even think belong to the EU.

Reviews
“This wonderful film wanders through four countries and speaks seven languages. Whenever the people are silent, nature talks, through nebulous trees, whispering fields, seepage water, snow.”
- Christoph Dieckmann, Die Zeit
“An affectionate approach towards people, who lead their lives in loneliness and abandonment.”
- Fritz Göttler, Süddeutsche Zeitung
“Illustrious images of unheard. Carpatia is the document of both a forgotten as well as a perishing world.”
- Anke Westphal, Berliner Zeitung
“In this way one immerses during two hours into a completely different, secluded, quiet, faraway world, from which one would not like to return all that quickly into ours.”
- Kirsten Liese, BR-Online
