Overview
I could not verify a film festival by the exact name “Polar Bear International Film Festival” in København N, Denmark from the provided sources. The available results instead point to unrelated entities such as Polar Bears International, a conservation organization, and other Copenhagen festivals, so the premise appears unconfirmed.
