Director Biography - Alexander Lind
Alexander is a Danish filmmaker who graduated from The National Danish Film School in 2013. Alexander has recently moved back to Denmark after spending 2 years in Amsterdam. His breakthrough in the industry came with his graduation film, Carl & Niels. The documentary, which portrays the struggles of two twin brothers trying to break free from their childhood symbiosis, was selected for the IDFA documentary film festival in Amsterdam and received the "Best New Nordic Voice" award at the Nordic Panorama film festival. Since then, Alexander has established his name with his debut in 2017 titled Next Summer, which tells the story of Rasmus, who fears inheriting his father's depression. This documentary led to a nomination at the Danish documentary film festival CPH:DOX and further solidified Alexander's remarkable ability to depict close and complicated relationships in both a visually artistic and deeply human way. In addition to these films, Alexander has directed TV documentaries for DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) and the Danish production company Pineapple Entertainment. He has worked on several TV series, many of which have received awards, nominations, and acclaim from the industry and audiences in Denmark.
In May 2023, Alexander released his critically acclaimed documentary film, The Light. It portrays the complex history of Denmark's largest and most controversial artwork, the Peace Sculpture 1995. In the film, Alexander utilizes extensive archival footage from both the 1940s and the early 1990s to create a contemporary space of understanding through brand new studio recordings and interviews.
It was Denmark's largest work of art and at the same time triggered a historic shitstorm when the artist Elle-Mie Ejdrup created a 532 km long line of laser light along the bunkers on the west coast on May 4, 1995. Former resistance fighters, top politicians and the press fought fiercely about the artpiece and about how to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Denmark's liberation. After receiving death threats and being sent out into the cold for two decades, the team behind the work is now telling the story.
