Christian Holten Bonke (born 13 August 1973, Fredericia) is a Danish documentary filmmaker and screenwriter.
[1] He has directed music videos, commercials and documentary series for television, most recently Uffe’s Alternative.
[3] The film is a documentary portrait of a retired ballroom dancer, who attempts to return to the world elite; a quest with a high personal cost.
This gives Bonke the opportunity to work with a variety of dramatic and visual tricks, perhaps more typical from feature film.
Penne Baker's The War Room (1993) about Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992, and Christoffer Guldbrandsen's [da] Fogh behind the facade [da] (2003) on Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's negotiations around the enlargement of the EU in 2002.
