The documentary comprises extracts from interviews with businessmen who regularly spend time at this airport hub, and from conversations with passenger assistants, salesclerks, and fellow passengers who interact with and deal with these businessmen on a daily basis.

Inspired by theories from the field of gender and organization, MEN AT KASTRUP directs attention to transnational arenas for the construction of leadership and gender. The film was made by Nanna Gillberg and Jenny Lantz in 2004 when they were PhD students at SSE.

Jenny Lantz is Associate Professor (docent) and currently affiliated researcher at Center for Arts, Business and Culture (ABC) at SSE. Her research is concerned with organizing and value creation in the cultural and creative industries, and with diversity & inclusion in organizations.

A light lunch will be served.
