He is integration mayor in the Danish capital and believes that such an invitation would be an important signal, he previously said in Danish radio.
It is important to show that we can have a Jewish film festival in the same way as we can have other film festivals, he says to TT.
Votes in November
On November 27, the culture and leisure administration in the Copenhagen municipality will vote on the proposal.
We will vote on whether we should send an invitation and whether we should support this festival with an equally large amount as Malmö city, says Lütken.
Contact has not yet been made with the initiators of the Jewish International Film Festival (Jiff).
We have received money from Malmö city on the condition that you make an arrangement in the municipality. We cannot use that money to do something somewhere else, says Ola Tedin, one of the initiators of the festival.
Security reasons
The goal is to show a selection of internationally awarded films with Jewish themes. The original plan was to hold the festival during the autumn, but a suitable venue has not been found.
That the festival in two cases has been rejected with reference to security reasons has created debate.
I think this is sad and also get provoked, has culture minister Parisa Liljestrand (M) previously said to TT.
The attention surrounding the local worries has led to several new possible alternatives now being on the table.
We will have a board meeting during the weekend. Then we must focus on how we can move forward and how we will evaluate the inputs that have come, several interesting inputs have come, says Ola Tedin.
