Intern for CPH:DOX’ Debate and Events Department

Every year, CPH:DOX hosts over 150 debates and events that help to communicate, frame, and emphasize the festival’s film program. As an intern in the Debate and Events Department, you will be part of a team that works to develop the festival’s many debates and events and create engaging film experiences.

Your tasks will include:

• Event development: Planning and organizing events in connection with film screenings – e.g., debates, director Q&A’s, talks, workshops, or other formats that put the films into perspective
• Coordination and collaboration: Dialogue and development with other cultural institutions about film screenings and related events
• Outreach: Contacting relevant groups, associations, and organizations that can help ensure that the films reach the right audiences
• Communication: Idea development and sparring with CPH:DOX’s communication team on how to promote the film program

We are looking for someone who is proactive, a strong coordinator, and curious about the world around them. We are looking for someone who loves film and is willing to go the extra mile to promote the good message, find the unusual angle on a story, or reach out to new audiences to share the joy of film.

We are looking for an intern who has preferably been involved in developing and running events before, or has done other types of festival work or larger cultural projects. We are looking for someone who has a flair for overview, coordination, and programming, and who dares to come up with good ideas.

You don’t need to have experience with all tasks—the most important thing is that you have a flair for creating engaging events, keeping track of things, and thrive on being part of the collective teamwork that is putting on a festival. Since communication between guests and speakers is often in Danish, good Danish language skills are a requirement.

As part of the Debate and Events Department, you will become part of CPH:DOX’s program department and a team of 5-6 people. Your daily work will consist of close collaboration with the team, as well as development and programming across the organization and in collaboration with the festival’s partners.

As an intern, you will be responsible for your own debates and events, giving you ample opportunity to influence the work with your own ideas. You will gain an internship that takes you from start to finish in how to create a festival, as well as strong skills in coordination, program development, and collaboration across organizations.

We offer a creative and informal working environment in the heart of Kødbyen i Copenhagen, where we place great emphasis on internal sparring, professional development, and social interaction.

Flexible internship period: Start in October or by agreement.
