As an intern at PARA:DOX, you will help run CPH:DOX’s streaming platform and deliver the digital festival in 2027, bringing the festival’s best films to audiences across Denmark.

PARA:DOX is CPH:DOX’ year-round streaming platform for documentary films. Users can rent films from previous festivals for 49 DKK per film, while an annual KLUB:DOX membership gives users unlimited access to the platform.

PARA:DOX is also home to the digital edition of CPH:DOX, which takes place every year in the weeks following the physical festival in March. During the digital festival, users can watch the majority of films from that year’s festival for a limited period and vote for the Audience Award.

PARA:DOX is looking for an intern who, in close collaboration with the streaming platform’s Project Manager, can help with:

• Curating films, topics and formats for the platform
• Screening and uploading new films and handling video files
• Maintaining the platform’s front page in WordPress
• Calculating and paying royalties to rights holders
• Various administrative tasks

We offer:

• Hands-on and varied experience working with a streaming platform, from technical tasks to curation
• Insight into digital project management and administration within the cultural sector
• The opportunity to work as part of a passionate and international team dedicated to film and culture
• Free streaming access and admission to the physical edition of CPH

Practical information:

• The start date and internship period are flexible, but ideally from February through April 2027, so the internship overlaps with the digital festival
• Part-time or full-time, with flexibility to accommodate your studies
• Danish is not a requirement so English-speakers are welcome to apply
• Remote work is not possible. You must be able to work from our office in Kødbyen at least part of the time. 
• This is an unpaid internship intended to form part of your study programme

We look forward to receiving your application. Please send your CV and a short motivation letter to PARA:DOX Project Manager Simon Ørberg at simon@cphdox.dk. Interviews will be held on a rolling basis, but we expect to have the internship arrangement in place no later than October 2026.
