We welcome filmmakers around the world to submit their documentary and experimental films to the 8th edition of the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival. More than 170 films will be presented in ten days. Programme includes seven international competitions, thematic sidebars, a five day professional seminar, a digital screening market - DOX:MARKET - and the international distribution forum - DOX:FORUM.
Films can be selected for the CPH:DOX Award, the New:Vision Award, the Amnesty Award, the Sound & Vision Award, The Danish:Dox Award, The Short:Dox Award, and for the non-competitive thematic programmes.
