The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art and World Wide Motion Pictures corporation will host a reception, discussion, and screening of Danish film, The Kiss, on May 31, following the movie’s May 16 premiere in the U.S.Ā 

The Danish feature film directed by Academy Award winner Billie August is based on the classic German novel Beware of Pity by Stafan Zwieg, who also inspired The Grand Budapest Hotel. The Kiss stars an award-winning international cast, including Danish actors Clara Rosager, Esben Smed, and Lars Mikkelsen.Ā 

Set against the backdrop of 1913 Denmark at the start of World War I, the film follows the journey of Anton, a cavalry officer hoping to complete his military training with distinction. After helping the local Baron out of a tough situation with his automobile, he gets invited to a family dinner, where he meets the Baron’s wheelchair-bound daughter, Edith. The two begin spending more time together and Edith falls for Anton, who struggles with whether his feelings for her are genuine as the threat of the first World War looms.Ā 

Paul D. Hancock, the president/CEO of World Wide Motion Pictures, will lead a pre-screening discussion during the May 31 event. Allan Hancock College professor Chris Hite, a filmmaker, screenwriter, animator, and film historian with a focus on European cinema, will join the pre-screening discussion.Ā 

The event begins at 6 p.m. with a reception featuring Danish-inspired hors d’oeuvres and local wines, followed by the discussion at 7 p.m., and screening at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $40 per person, with a 10 percent discount for museum members.
