CPH:DOX annually welcomes delegations of producers from all around the world enriching our industry program and benefitting from our specially curated networking events and tailored mentorship programmes.
During our Meet the Delegations – Presentations & Networking Roundtables event focusing on international co-productions – accessible to all accredited professionals – delegation organizers offer an insight into co-production possibilities with their respective territories, while a great variety of documentary projects in development brought by delegation members are shared in the format of curated networking roundtables, looking for co-producing partners and other collaborators.
The program of each delegation is tailored to the specific needs of its members. Prior to the festival, delegation organizers can choose to offer their delegates individual mentorship, guiding producers through the CPH:INDUSTRY programme, the international marketplace at large, and connecting them with relevant people and institutions.
Additionally, delegation members have exclusive access to Delegation Decision Makers Roundtables connecting participating producers with film financiers, broadcasters, sales agents, art curators, galleries, established international producers and impact bodies’ representatives, participating in the Industry programme.
2024 edition
For the 2024 edition, we were proud to welcome no less than 16 international delegations from Belgium, Canada, Chile, CineDoc-Tbilisi, Finland, France, Generation Africa 2.0, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Lights Belarus, Norway, Quebec and Scotland.
In the current context of upheaval and great disparity, promoting collaboration and democratic dialogue across languages and borders is needed more than ever. Northern Lights Belarus, CinéDOC Tbilisi and CPH:DOX, with the support of New Democracy Fund join forces in building a documentary exchange project that will unfold at CPH:INDUSTRY 2024 for the very first time under the name DOX:EXCHANGE.
Through workshops, mentoring sessions and cross-dissemination of films and delegation presentations at CPH:INDUSTRY 2024, our three organizations will aim to build a space for filmmakers, producers and films to freely circulate ideas, business strategies and develop long lasting partnerships through our respective regions.
