Death of Laurent Cantet at 63, filmmaker between gentleness and revolt
April 25, 202
The filmmaker, winner of the Palme d’Or in 2008 with “Entre les Murs”, has always focused his cinema on deeply human figures, in perpetual search of their place in society. He died this Thursday, April 25 at the age of 63. He had been battling cancer for months. “We are always there to judge the work of others during crucial stages, script readings or editing screenings … We learned to decode ourselves. We are not in rivalry, and we are not trying to please each other,” he explained when, alongside producer Marie-Ange Lucciani (Anatomy of a Fall), a new film project was developed (casting and scouting in progress between chemos). The illness won out over the desire for a film, even though at each final cut he said he didn't know if it wasn't the last.

Member of Parliament from the Social Democratic Party Fie Hækkerup (29) has lost her newborn daughter
April 26, 2024
A Danish MP, Fie Hækkerup, has lost her newborn baby, and also had a fetus die at six weeks in 2023. She writes this in a post on Facebook - “On April 4, Mikkel and I became parents to the world's most beautiful little Carla. The next day, April 5, we lost her. Carla was born with a brain disease, and after a brief 24 hours here with us, her little heart gave up … Mikkel and I are of course completely devastated by grief and missing our little girl. For now we need peace, so it will continue to be quiet from here on in the coming time.” The post has received hundreds of supportive comments. Fie Hækkerup, who is the daughter of the former Social Democratic Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup, was elected to Folketinget (the parliament) in the 2022 election. During her term of office, she has, among other, focused on adequately covering the pain of women during medical abortions. This is because in the summer of 2023 she herself went through a violent medical abortion. An experience she has told about to several media outlets, including Berlingske. Fie Hækkerup was 11 weeks pregnant at the time, when they found out that the fetus had died in week six. During the medical abortion she had to go through, … It was a pain she was not prepared for at all. When she shared her experience on social media, she received more than 400 inquiries from women who had had the same experience with a medical abortion. Subsequently, the Danish Parliament agreed to prioritize funding for research into gender-related diseases and treatments in 2024.
