I have filmed my friends fight for Ungdomshuset
from August 2006 to March 2007.
I was allowed to film almost everything.
I have so far as possible told it
chronologically, and as I see it.
Director, Nikolaj Viborg
I'm going off on Sunday
so I won't be here when it starts.
It's a really special feeling for
It can be the last time
that I'm in this house.
It looks like it.
"Theyve got the house, we'll get peace"
Copenhagen Mayor, 1982
Mads Lodahl.
Ungdomshuset activist
Hi Tanja.
I'm collecting materials for my article.
Where would people like you go if
there wouldn't be Ungdomshuset?
I would sit all day in my house,
pissed off and sad.
Because here I'm also all day.
I don't want to be anywhere else.
That's the only place where
I don't fell like a freak.
I think many people feel the same.
Without this house it will be hard to
find some other place like this in Denmark.
Ungdomshuset, 28. August 2006
It will look like a joke.
- That's what its all about.
Don't look at me.
- Try to shout.
Today, the Supreme Court holded up
the decision of the County Court.
Super!
Hi. Today, the Supreme Court holded up
the decision of the County Court.
Anyway, we are staying.
We are still ready for negotiations,
but if they don't want a political solution,
confrontation is inevitable.
Today, the Supreme Court ordered
the youth to leave Ungdomshuset.
They gave the owner of this building
- the religious group Faderhuset -
rights to use this building.
What is the situation in Ungdomshuset?
It's tight. Ungdomshuset attracted
all youth groups from Norrebro.
Their representatives don't want confrontations,
but will they manage this situation?
If I would like to be dramatic, I would say
that this is a peace before the storm.
Does it look good?
- Your fringe is a bit too high.
Do they look real?
- Nope, your face is too pale.
I look like Amalie.
- Yeah, Amalie also wore it like this.
My openness about my homosexuality
has been often met with violent reactions.
In Ungdomshuset it's different.
that Ungdomshuset is a place
where I can be myself.
Copenhagen Authorities
gave us Ungdomshuset in 1982.
By doing that, they confirmed a need for
a place that will be for all outsiders.
It seems that people who rule now
think different.
It's not important
what I think about their decisions.
I'm expecting that we will find a solution.
I'm expecting a dialogue about this.
I think that's the way
Ungdomshuset, 18. September 2006
Who will read the plans for
the weekend from 22. to 24?
It will start with a demonstration.
We need a group on the sides
of trucks and on the front.
Something about eight people...
- What about accommodation for the night?
If the 80 people from Holland won't come,
and if 120 from Kiel will,
then we have night rests for everybody.
As a Monday Summit Ungdomshuset
representatives, we want to show our strategy
so you will know what to do.
that we don't support combat actions.
No destructions or vandalism,
unless in self defense
if cops will start it.
We're in negotiations with the City Council
and we agreed to participate
in this democratic process
because we know that we will get
beat up if we would fight with police.
I have promised to encourage everyone
to participate in the Saturday demonstration.
It must be peaceful, we want to show how
broad is the spectrum of support for us.
DEFENSE OF PEOPLE
I will tell you something about those,
who they call "the youth"
All newspapers write about fights with youths...
City will pay a lot for this.
You are responsible for fun,
but what about fights with police?
We don't want any fights and there won't
be any, unless the police will start them.
Come on, they want to arrest
everybody from the group up there.
We gotta do something!
Is she so dangerous for you?
How much extra payment you get
How much do they pay you?
On the side.
- Further on right.
Our motto "We decide, when we fight" is super,
but the problem is that we don't always decide.
If cops will attack we don't
have what to decide about.
We can only decide if we defend ourselves
or passively get beat up.
We can't require from the demonstrating people,
to passively set themselves under police batons.
All this case with revolutions romanticism...
Today it's only a vent
for rage and frustration,
To be real, it's counterevolutional...
because you direct all anger on police
and honestly, you shouldn't be mad at them.
I don't agree, because we
can't run from our history.
When the movement appeared,
the movement who wanted to get Ungdomshuset
and they've asked for one, they were ignored.
They didn't get one until they
started to be serious.
They've squatted empty building
and were attacked by tear-gas.
It forced them to defence
and that's why they got this house.
Its true that nobody wants this confrontation.
But we must remeber that we wouldn't
get this building without a fight.
From today news:
On Norrebro violence exploded.
Attention:
We are showing unpleasantscenes of meeting punks with cops.
Enough of this.
In the place where I come from everybody
looks the same and this is scary.
Somebody says:
"Why can't you respect their lifestyle?
They've chosen to live
in a city without graffiti
where everybody looks the same."
But I didn't choose this when I lived there.
engage in something.
But there wasn't anything like it.
That life was deadly for everybody
who didn't toe the line.
Homosexuals always moved to Copenhagen.
...as everyone else who was
different from "normal people".
They had places like Ungdomshuset.
If Copenhagen would be just like Herning,
then what's the point of moving to Copennhagen?
It would be the same in Copenhagen,
lonely and sad.
...arised a foundation, that wants to buy
back Ungdomshuset for the youths.
We estabilished a foundation...
[Association] and we want to buy
the building back from Faderhuset
and offer some avalaible solutions,
so Ungdomshuset could
continue their activity with us.
With the foundation behind us
we have a good position.
So it's important to hold
the politicians good will.
Faderhuset is the only one
who don't want us to stay here.
If I convince them to sell the building
to the foundation then we are saved.
We don't brake the law
by calling to them, just to talk.
We don't need to threaten them.
You can say, that you worry about
their safety, or whatever you want ...
We had made some smaller campaign,
when we called them and jumped for a visit.
Thanks to us, they didn't have
any mass in one and half month.
And we turn off their telephones.
Today they announced, that theyll
start again making their services.
to "visit" them on Monday.
