ABOUT

CPH: DOX is the third biggest documentary film festivals in the world. Each year, the festival presents a selection of more than 200 films and welcomes 2 000 industry professionals. The festival focuses on three main tracks: science, society, and art.  

The festival selects films for six international competitions as well as several non-competitive sidebars. Dox:Award is the international main competition, The Next: Wave is dedicated to emerging filmmakers; F:ACT Award is dedicated to films in the field between documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism and New: Vision presents ground-breaking experiments in the area between documentary and artistic reflection. 

CPH: DOX also offers professional international financing and co-production components during its Industry Week, including the CPH: FORUM (documentary projects in development or WIP), with applications opening September 3.
