WILD GIRLS / VILDE PIGER
Creative one-off documentary, 40 min., 2012
Follow three wild girls on the fringes of society toying with the law, building friendships and dreaming.
Life as a teenage girl in the concrete ghetto is tough. Our main characters, Afaf, Sasja and Hilal are in conflict with the law, friends, and with their families on an everyday basis. Each in their own way, they choose to face their problems and pursue their own way in the world, but it’s hard when violence and peer pressure’s always lurking on the sideline. The film provides a rare glimpse into an environment, which is normally a closed world. What is it like to grow up with constant failures and fights when you’re also trying to find your own identity.

TRAILER
Tine Katinka Jensen
Tine passed away in 2015 after battling cancer for many years. She was core to the establishment of Bullitt Film and she directed two films with us: ”Solange on Love” that won Best Danish Documentary at CPH:DOX in 2008, and “Wild Girls” in 2013 that shed light on marginalized teenage girls and instigated a much needed debate in Denmark on the subject.
Tine graduated from the Danish Film School in 2005 with the prominent portrait film “Angie”. Alongside her work with creative documentary, she made television series especially for a young audience. During her first period of illness she directed “Tine´s Film” in collaboration with her husband Poul Berg. During her many years with severe illness she became a treasured speaker at conferences about quality of life. You can see her moving and powerful films here on the site. We miss her very much.
