  • Summary

  • From his Los Angeles home, Danish artist and Oscar-winning film producer BENNI KORZEN, who left Copenhagen for New York in 1964, talks first about his 200 or so abstract color paintings and collages that surround him. Benni recalls his Oscar win for Best Foreign Film for the Danish production Babette's Feast (1987), a 1960 documentary with CBS about the historic 1943 rescue of 95% of Danish Jews (of which he was one) to Sweden, and describes current projects.

    Benni selects a work by Paul Gernes from the SMK collection.
