What happens

En rød løber for Asta Nielsen er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Eva Tind. Filmen er forfatteren og kunstneren Eva Tinds personlige dokumentarfilm om stumfilmstjernen Asta Nielsen. I filmen følger Eva i fodsporene på Danmarks første verdensstjerne drevet af en undren over, hvorfor Asta Nielsen, der i datiden var lige så stor som Charles Chaplin, ikke har efterladt sig et mere markant eftermæle i nutiden. Steder, personer, udvalgte stumfilmklip og fotos skaber en kollektiv dokumentarisk fortælling med omdrejningspunkt i Asta Nielsen, der åbner en dør til hendes liv og univers i nutiden i et forsøg på at gribe hende, før hun glider ud i glemslen.
