FSC 153

== The Host City ==
Our host city for this edition is Odense, Denmark. Odense is the third largest city in Denmark, and has a population of 180,760. It is the main city on the island of Funen, and by road it is located roughly halfway between Copenhagen and Aarhus. The city is the seat of Odense Municipality, and falls within the Region of Southern Denmark.
Odense remains the financial hub of Funen, and has a notable shopping district with a diversity of stores. Several major industries are located in the city, including the Albani Brewery, and GASA, Denmark's major dealer in vegetables, fruits and flowers. The city is home to Odense Palace, the Odense theatre, and Odense Symphony Orchestra.
Odense is a cultural and historical city where you can sense the city's long history clearly. It has a characterful Old Town area, with walking streets ready to be explored by tourists. It has a strong cycling culture, and boasts many interesting museums. However, Odense is also a vibrant and urban city, where you have the opportunity to take part in the good local life, where you can enjoy the cozy atmosphere, taste the vibrant local food scene or go for walks in one of the city's many green oases.
But perhaps Odense is most famous for being the birthplace of it's most famous child: the famous Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. Although a prolific writer of poems, plays and novels, Hans Christian Andersen is mostly remembered for his fairy tales. Consisting of 156 stories over 9 volumes, Andersen's fairy tales have been translated into 125 languages. While easily accessible to children, the stories also provide lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity. Among his most famous stories are The Little Mermaid, The Emperor's new clothes, Thumbelina, and The Ugly Duckling.
== The Venue ==
Our host venue for this 153rd edition of FSC is the Odeon Music and Theatre Hall.
Completed in 2017, Odeon is one of the largest cultural venues in Denmark, where you can enjoy anything from theatre shows and concerts for children to modern pop-rock performances. The Great Hall boasts 1740 seats, or standing places for up to 3000 people. The Odeon contains a world-class theatre and music hall and the head offices of important institutions such as the Danish National Academy of Music and the Odense Acting School. The building also contains residential units for young artists and a grocery store. The architects conceived of the Odeon as a cultural center and a place for the promotion of culture with events both large and small. It is an important urban landmark that will be a draw for the local population even when there is no show on. The building symbolises the transformation of the city district where it is located into a new car-free district closely connected with the port, the city center and the railway station.
== The Hosts ==
Our ever witty and funny hosts for this edition are Kirsten Birgit Schiøtz Kretz Hørsholm, and Rasmus Bruun, who she describes as her unknown sidekick.
Kirsten Birgit Schiøtz Kretz Hørsholm (born 12 February 1952 in Søften ) is a fictional Danish journalist played by the 35 year old satirist, actor and clarinetist Frederik Cilius. She was known from, among other things, as a senior correspondent for Den Korte Radioavis on Radio24syv 2015 - 2019, host of Fuld af Danmark on TV2 and as a writer for, among others, the newspapers Weekendavisen , Politiken and Aarhus Stiftstidende.
Kirsten Birgit was born in Søften, north of Aarhus in 1952, to father, Jens Birgit and mother, Karen Birgit. Her mother died during the birth and Kirsten Birgit therefore grew up with her father, horse dealer Jens Birgit on his farm, called Gården på hillen. In the 1990s, Kirsten Birgit covered both the civil war in Rwanda and the Chechen War, both with major serious consequences for her private life. The brutality of the events contributed to Kirsten Birgit, according to her own statement, breaking down and therefore having to withdraw from the public. As part of her rehabilitation, Kirsten Birgit attended a masturbation course with the American sexologist Betty Dodson. Therefore, Kirsten Birgit was in New York on September 11, 2001, but slept through the fall of the Twin Towers . In February 2015, Kirsten Birgit returned to journalistic work when she, together with news editor Rasmus Bruun, hosted the radio program Den Korte Radioavis.
Rasmus Bruun (born 15 January 1983 ) is a Danish journalist, actor and co-radio host on Den Korte Radioavis and Den2Radioavis on Radio24syv and Den2Radio respectively. Rasmus Bruun joined DR's Talent Team in 2005 and in January 2007 hosted the program Boogieradio Afternoon. In 2013, Rasmus Bruun together with Frederik Cilius won the award for "Innovation of the Year" at Prix Radio for the program Damernes Magazine. In the summer of 2014, the two made the program Antidemokratisk Festival and most recently Den Korte Radioavis , where Rasmus Bruun plays the news editor Rasmus Bruun. For Prix Radio 2015, the program won three awards: "Innovation of the Year", "Satire of the Year" and "Radio Program of the Year".
