CPH:DOX is what might best be described as a “living” festival. While most big name fests strive for relevancy through catchy branding, the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival is a different entity entirely. It’s a festival animated by the sincere belief in a collective world, and a core commitment to address our global “issues of the day” and what impact they could very well have on all our future – through the moving image, of course, but also via events, talks, masterclasses and more. It’s a holistic approach that’s organically defined this nonfiction fest from its humble beginnings all the way back in 2003.
Which is why, in the wake of this edition’s COVID19 cancellation, it didn’t surprise me in the least that this nimble and innovative fest wouldn’t skip a beat before pivoting to bring the international filmmaking community together in a virtual version. So with this big picture in mind, and while we wait with bated breath for the digital rollout to commence, I’ve compiled a small list of events I’d been hoping to attend in person – parts of which I am still hoping could be salvaged online (and through the miracle of teleconferencing).
