Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”I have previously lived in Christianshavn, and I think it’s a lovely area. I like taking a walk along the embankments and remembering the time when the moats protected Copenhagen. If you are trying to imagine what life was like in Copenhagen shortly before the middle of the century before last, you must picture that the city was a fortress. All the way around the city was an embankment that slanted into a broad moat, and all access to and from the city had to pass through one of four narrow gates; Østerport, Nørreport, Vesterport and Amagerport.”

Who’s your favourite Danish artist?
”I would like to mention Bille August, my favourite film director.
He has won the Palme d’Or twice for his films ’Pelle Erobreren’ and ’Den gode vilje’. For the former, he also won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best foreign movie.
Bille August’s choice of subjects demonstrate a classic humanism. You can see this in his film version of Martin Andersen Nexø’s novel ’Pelle Erobreren’. In it, he depicts the existence of a young person and his confrontation with the brutality of the adult world. The child is observed at eye level and with loyalty, and his emotional life is registered with the same level of seriousness as that of the adults. All told through a picturesque filmic language in which every frame in the film is as if taken out of a painting from the period it is set in.”

Can you recommend a special place or activity in Copenhagen
"I would recommend a bike ride to experience the new and old Copenhagen.
In Copenhagen, new neighborhoods are being established, which I think are exciting to compare with the old neighborhoods to be inspired by architecture, environment and opportunities.
My suggestion is to start the cycle tour in Carlsberg Byen, which is located on the site where the Carlsberg brewery was located. You can then cycle through part of Vesterbro down to Fisketorvet and over the bridge to Islands Brygge, which was an industrial port, but which today is primarily a recreational area with cafes and eateries.
When you cycle along the water, you come to Christianshavn, an old district from the 17th century.
If you continue cycling along the water, you will reach Refshaleøen. On Refshaleøen there are new residential areas, restaurants and concert venues.
Finally, you can cycle to the Opera, which opened in 2005, and take the Harbour Bus to Nyhavn.
Have a nice trip!"
