When Cph:dox shifted from a fall festival to a spring-based fest in 2017, it got out of IDFA’s shadow and grew into one of the most influential documentary events of the year.
“It made a big jump in prominence when it moved to March because it fit into the calendar in a more exciting way for a lot of documentary stakeholders,” Thom Powers, lead documentary programmer for Toronto Film Festival, says. “It became a great place for films coming out of Sundance to have a European launch. It’s also become a very significant place for films to make world premieres near the beginning of the year, which can then send them on a circuit, traveling to other festivals like Hot Docs or Doc NYC.”
Now in its 20th year, Cph:dox is among the largest documentary film festivals in the world. This year’s lineup includes 200 docus, more than half...

Amanda Kernell’s family drama “Charter” has been selected as Sweden’s submission for an Oscar in the international feature film race.
“Charter” world premiered at Sundance and had its European premiere at Goteborg. It was also recently nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize. The movie is represented in international markets by TrustNordisk.
The film centers around Alice (Ane Dahl Torp), who hasn’t seen her two children in months after a difficult divorce, as her ex-husband (Sverrir Gudnason) keeps them from seeing her, awaiting the final custody verdict in northern Sweden. When her son calls her in the middle of the night weeping, Alice takes action and abducts her children to venture on an illicit charter trip to the Canary Islands.
“‘Charter’ had a very strange start, premiering in Swedish cinemas just when the corona crisis hit. So I’m absolutely thrilled that the film continues to travel...

Exclusive: In a major shift to the documentary festival landscape, Cph:dox has announced it is to change dates.
The Copenhagen International Documentary Festival is to move from its current November slot to March - and will not run in 2016.
The 14th edition of Cph:dox will run March 16-26, 2017.
It is understood this will also have implications for Cph: Pix, the annual fiction film festival also held in Copenhagen, which is next due to run April 14-27, 2016.
Cph:pix is expected to make its own announcement about its future plans later this week.
In an interview with ScreenDaily, Cph:dox director Tine Fischer explained the reasons why the fast-growing event is taking up residence in a spring slot.
Fischer outlined that having Cph:dox (which ran this year Nov 5-15) so close to International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (Nov 18-29) has put undue pressure on industry delegates.
A further contributing factor is that another major documentary event, Dok Leipzig...
