Volunteer Corner: Christine
Christine has a soft spot for all things self-published - from cassette tapes and zines to indie movies (the brilliant and the brilliantly bad). Naturally she was drawn to Husets Biograf, Copenhagen’s number 1 spot for homemade and underground films!
This October Christine recommends catching Hardware (1990) on October 28th in the cinema. It’s a delicious slice of 90s beep-boop dystopia, complete with a nasty soundtrack and some truly silly tech worshipping.
She’s also a co-organizer of CPH Zinefest, a yearly festival for self-published magazines. On October 16th, Zinefest is taking over the cinema for a special (and free!) event – don’t miss it.
How to Survive October (According to Our Movies)
Serenity(Wednesday, Oct 1): Always trust the ship’s mechanic, never trust the Alliance, and keep a spare brown coat.
Get tickets 🎟️There Will Be Blood(Thursday, Oct. 2): Don’t share straws. Ever.
Get tickets 🎟️Ramen Heads / Tampopo(Saturday, Oct. 4) Slurp loudly. It’s not rude, it’s survival.
Get tickets 🎟️The Gardener’s Year(Tuesday, Oct.7): Water your plants, not your enemies.
Get tickets 🎟️Ikiru(Wednesday, Oct. 8): Build a playground. It’s harder for bureaucracy to kill joy if it’s on a swing set.
Get tickets 🎟️Barbarella(Thursday, Oct. 9): Never underestimate the power of space fashion, a good outfit can stop intergalactic chaos.
Idiocracy(Sunday, Oct. 12): When in doubt, drink water. Not sports drinks. Water.
Evolution(Sunday, Oct. 12): Shampoo is a weapon of mass extinction — carry conditioner just in case.
Get tickets 🎟️10 Things I Hate About You(Wednesday, Oct. 15): High school survival requires Shakespeare, sarcasm, and a soundtrack by Letters to Cleo.
Get tickets 🎟️Antibirth(Thursday, Oct. 23): If someone offers you mystery drugs in Michigan, politely decline.
Get tickets 🎟️The Room(Friday, Oct. 24): If someone throws a football at you in an alleyway, just roll with it — resistance is futile.
Get tickets 🎟️13 Assassins(Sunday, Oct. 26): Never bring twelve when thirteen will do.
Get tickets 🎟️
Fiddler on the Roof(Wednesday, Oct. 29): Balance tradition with change. Also: learn to dance on unstable surfaces.
Get tickets🎟️Onibaba(Thursday, Oct. 30): War is hell, but taking fashion tips from a cursed mask is worse.
Bad Movie Club Halloween (Oct 31)
Creatures from the Abyss → Rule one: never skinny-dip near experimental plankton.

Halloween Watchlist
Survival training doesn’t end when you leave the cinema — and our volunteers have extra tricks (and treats) up their sleeves. Here are their personal picks to keep the spooky spirit alive at home this October.
Bianca Recommends: Possession (1981)
A couple going through a divorce are pushed to the edge and behave in increasingly strange ways. Isabelle Adjani’s emotionally charged performance is reason enough to see this film! Also, there is a weird monster.
Mattias Recommends: Re-Animator (1985)
A lovely weird and scary movie! It’s been some years since I watched it, but a H.P. Lovecraft reimagined with plenty of over-the-top horror is always nice.
Rasmus Recommends: The Lost Boys (1987)
The boys move with their mom to California and as everyone knows, that place is filled with vampires! Lots of funny vampire shenanigans ensues and some real “cool” vampire hunters from a comic book store. It might not be that scary, but it sure is charming and entertaining. And there’s great music from The Doors.
Samuel Recommends: Who Can Kill A Child (1976)
One of the sunniest horror movies ever made. A couple arrives to an idyllic Spanish island full of sweet children. Enjoy this piece where the darkness exists only inside those little bastards.
Casper Recommends: Braindead(1992)
Peter Jackson before he made Middle-earth roadtrip movies. He broke the record for the most fake blood used in a movie with this horror comedy classic.
