An Evening with Louis Theroux
Meet the genre-defining documentarist Louis Theroux in conversation with journalist Lotte Folke Kaarsholm from Politiken.
Louis Theroux is a genre‑defining documentary filmmaker and presenter, best known for his deeply immersive and empathetic programmes that explore the intricate and often contentious facets of human existence. These include his BAFTA‑winning series Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends and When Louis Met…, alongside a string of acclaimed and award‑winning documentaries. Louis Theroux immerses himself in challenging environments, allowing his audience a glimpse into the often-unseen corners of our world. His gentle and charming approach to interviewing and documentary filmmaking is uniquely his own, as is his ability to offer rounded portraits of his subjects while always resisting easy judgements.
At CPH:DOX 2026 we invite you to an evening dedicated to the award winning documentarist, when Louis Theroux visits a Danish film festival for the first time ever! We will screen his newest film ‘The Settlers’ about Israeli settlers on the West Bank and afterwards you can meet Theroux himself in a conversation with Politiken’s Lotte Folke Kaarsholm, about the making of the film and his approach to documentary filmmaking.
