              Opening Keynote

              12:50 - 13:05 Monday 24th Mar 2025 / 15 min

              A fiercely independent filmmaker will evoke the potential power and importance of independent media.

              Documentaries play an important role in the audiovisual landscape by offering audiences not just the facts of a story but an emotional connection to a vital human experience. They carry the promise to dig deeper and bring us closer to the truth. And it is precisely their independence, transparency and integrity that put them in a position to promote democratic discussion and debate. Policy makers can help by guaranteeing a free and diverse audiovisual landscape, where audiences continue to have trusted access to a variety of voices, experiences and stories, and filmmakers find a variety of reliable partners – both public and private – to support production and distribution.

              Alisa Kovalenko is an award-winning Ukranian filmmaker based in Kyiv, whose film My Dear Theo, has it’s World Premier at CPH:DOX 2025.
