Our host of the day will invite our participants to quickly introduce themselves to the rest of the room, setting the scene for a collaborative environment.

The session will introduce the CPH:INDUSTRY programme and share networking tips using the tools and different opportunities offered at CPH:DOX. We aim to help newcomers navigate our extensive programme and reap its benefits.

This session showcases how a film travels through the pipeline of festivals. In conversation with the filmmakers of Theatre of Violence (2023), we will follow the film’s path leading up to its world premiere at CPH:DOX, featured in our main competition, the DOX:AWARD. The filmmakers will take us through the making of this film – from early development, to securing financing by pitching the project and having one-to-one meetings with financiers all the way to the world premiere, taking place just two days before this session.

A curious, explorative conversation between the audience and two producers, on a different but equally successful path. They will be questioning and exploring their own ways of working, addressing their learnings from mistakes, and offering tangible advice.

This session will bring participants closer to industry representatives, showcasing different types of gatekeepers and what they look for in projects. We will focus on connecting emerging voices to the established ecosystem and initiate a forward-thinking and inclusive action process to help up-coming talent thrive. Divided into three panels; each led by different types of industry representatives: broadcasters; distributors and sales agents; and film festival programmers.
