Beate Bille

Before beginning her studies at the Danish National School of Theatre in 2000, Beate Bille had already appeared in the films "Angel of the night" and "The art of success". By the time she graduated in 2004, she had been offered her first leading role in the feature film "Menslaughter". This film, which won several Scandinavian film awards, gave her the opportunity to create an intense portrait of a young leftwing activist involved in an affair with a former teacher, played by Danish actor Jesper Christensen. She plays opposite the German actress Hanna Schygulla in "Die blaue Grenze". Appearances in Emmy Award winning Danish TV series include roles in "Unit One", "Taxa", "Ornen", and "Nikolaj og Julie". At 2006 she was selected as the Danish Shooting Star at the Berlinale Festival. She presently has a part in Hella Joof's "Fidibus" and Nikolai Arcels' film, "De fortabte Sjaeles O", which opens in 2007.
