The two dozen remaining inhabitants of the tiny Danish island of Mandø cling steadfastly to their beloved homeland despite rising tides and a looming storm. In quietly poetic and often humorous glimpses of their daily routines, we follow them across gorgeous landscapes of windswept marshes and dunes as they confront their uncertain future. New York premiere.
7pm music performance by Tall Juan. 8pm screening.
After-party DJ set by Swiss KP. Food available by Brothers.
