Biography Lindstrøm was born on 12 January 1858 in Copenhagen, the son of a Swedish tailor, and first apprenticed as a wine merchant before turning to acting. He had his debut on 3 December 1880 in Stavanger and was then affiliated to Dagmarteatret for many years from its opening, before he moved on to Folketeatret where he was expected to succeed J. F. S. Dorph-Petersen as theatre director. However, a fashionable controversy with Dorph-Petersen regarding his wife's notice from the theatre prompted him to resign. He was then hired by a development company, ''Bona'', to head the establishment of Det Ny Teater. On its opening in 1908, it was the second largest and most advanced theatre in Denmark but he left after three years due to an insignificant debt. That same year he had his debut on film a ...

Male Actors From Copenhagen
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example o ...

Cinema Of Denmark
Denmark has been producing films since 1897 and since the 1980s has maintained a steady stream of product due largely to funding by the state-supported Danish Film Institute. Historically, Danish films have been noted for their realism, religious and moral themes, sexual frankness and technical innovation. The Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer (1889–1968) is considered one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema. Other Danish filmmakers of note include Benjamin Christensen, who outside his native country directed several horror classics including ''Häxan'' (1922) and '' Seven Footprints to Satan'' (1929); Erik Balling, the creator of the popular ''Olsen-banden'' films; Gabriel Axel, an Oscar-winner for ''Babette's Feast'' in 1987; and Bille August, the Oscar-, Palme d'Or- and Golden Globe-winner for ''Pelle the Conqueror'' in 1988. In the modern era, notable filmmakers in Denmark include Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, who co-created the Dogme 95 film movem ...

Blade Af Satans Bog
''Leaves from Satan's Book'', also known as ''Leaves Out of the Book of Satan'' ( da, Blade af Satans bog), is a 1920 Danish fantasy film directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer and starring Helge Nissen as Satan. This was only the third film directed by Dreyer, who later went on to create such classics as ''Vampyr'' (1932) and ''The Passion of Joan of Arc'' (1928). The film is structured much like D.W. Griffith's ''Intolerance'' (1916) with its episodic nature while evoking F. W. Murnau's ''Satan'' (1920). The film ran 157 minutes, but sources list the DVD's running time at 121 minutes. Troy Howarth states "If not for the presence of Satan, (this film) wouldn't warrant inclusion in a study of the horror genre; in truth it's more of a quaint pageant play than a horror film....The cast emotes to a degree too theatrical for even silent cinema."Workman, Christopher; Howarth, Troy (2016).

Frederiksberg Church
Frederiksberg Church (Danish: Frederiksberg Kirke) is the oldest church building in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark.

It is situated at Frederiksberg Runddel in front of the main entrance to Frederiksberg Gardens, on the corner of Frederiksberg Allé and Pile Allé, History Earlier churches Frederiksberg was founded when King Christian III transferred 20 Dutch families from Amager to the area, which became known as ''Ny Hollænderbyen'' ("New Dutch Town"), or Ny Amager ("New Dutch Town). The residents of this community constructed a small wooden church in 1653 across the street from the present Frederiksberg Church, roughly where the Storm P. Museum stands today. It was burned down by Swedish troops in 1658 during the Assault on Copenhagen in the Second Northern War. After the war, the Dutch community returned to the area but, struck with deep poverty, a new church was not completed un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
