At first he was going to send various videos to her in Copenhagen, but she decided to fly from there to Charleston two weeks ago. She spent a week touring Southern WV coal fields towns with WV filmmaker B.J. Gudmundsson, collecting picture, video, and other information. Von Trier is famous for hating to travel, not even going to Cannes to collect awards for his two hits, \”Breaking the Waves\” and \”Dancer in the Dark.\” Vinterberg will be shooting the film in Denmark and WV/Va. in summer 1993. Von Trier will be presenting his newest film, \”Dogville,\” starring Nichole Kidman, at Cannes in May 2003.
