How it feels

This Danish documentary from 1954 explores the country's long and varied coastline. It shows how the sea and human activity shape the shore, with waves eroding land in some places and depositing material in others. The film also shows people building dikes, groynes, and stone coverings to protect the coast from the sea.

What happens

Danske kyster er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1954 instrueret af Holger Moth og Edwin Nørgaard efter deres manuskript. Danmarks kystlinie er over 7000 km lang og stærkt varierende. Kystens form er et resultat af havets og menneskets virksomhed. Bølgeslaget nedbryder landet nogle steder og aflejrer det nedbrudte materiale igen andetsteds på kysten, men menneskene søger at modvirke denne påvirkning ved bygning af høfder og diger og ved at beskytte udsatte klinter med stenbelægninger.
