We welcome individual students as well as larger groups, classes or schools from all over the world. You can form your own path through the festival with an ACADEMY accreditation that gives access to the film programme, CPH: CONFERENCE March 20-24, INTER:ACTIVE Symposium March 20, and social vents during all festival days March 15-26.

Deadline for DOX: ACADEMY accreditations was on March 1. Deadline is now passed and application process is closed!

Applying to follow an ACADEMY CLASS in Copenhagen is free once you have an Academy accreditation approved and paid. Please note that the ACADEMY CLASSES have a limited capacity and a separate application is required- see DOX:ACADEMY application below. Not all applications for the CLASSES can be approved and having a DOX:ACADEMY Accreditation does not automatically secure you a place at the CLASSES.

You can apply to join one of the ACADEMY Classes by the latest on February 1, 2023 (your DOX: ACADEMY application must be also paid by latest that date, if you want to be considered for the CLASSES).

Deadline for DOX: ACADEMY CLASSES was on February 15. Deadline is now passed and application process is closed!

The ACADEMY CLASSES are a line of highly intensive courses taking place during the CPH:DOX festival with two sessions a day supplemented by group discussions and a tailored programme of films and festival activities, and more. 

All of our ACADEMY CLASSES explore the intersection between theory and practice and bring together students, teachers, experts and artists from different professional backgrounds to form new creative and cross-disciplinary networks:

ART: HYBRID CLASS examines the field between art, film and academic research, especially anthropology. The class will focus on the experimental form of documentary as an artistic practice that tests the boundaries of filmic expressions. Sign up for this ambitious and creative course if you want to meet, discuss and explore the intersection between documentary and fiction, experiment and reality, and new emerging art forms!

SOCIETY: F:ACT CLASS is dedicated to the field between investigative journalism, political activism and expressive documentary genres. The class is a forum for documentarists and journalists to meet, inspire and challenge each other in the collective examination of social impact through documentary media. Join the class if you want to see or change the world through a camera lens!

SCIENCE: NATURE CLASS explores the intersection between science, nature and cinema. How can complex knowledge, more-than-human sensibilities and climate change be transformed into moving images that are intelligible for a broader audience? When filmmakers collaborate with environmental activists and scientists, documentaries of any kind can become comprehensible, accessible and vibrant. See how a multitude of phenomena related to science and nature can transform into thought-provoking and genre-bending documentaries. Join us in the mesh of the Anthropocene!

Each ACADEMY CLASS is hosted by a professional moderator from the three different disciplines, and is composed of a curated programme and sessions arranged exclusively for the participants. These will be weaved together with screenings and conferences from the CPH:DOX festival programme. In order to create a concentrated learning atmosphere based on exchange and engagement, students apply with motivated applications.

The next edition of DOX:ACADEMY takes place during next year’s CPH:DOX, March 15-26, 2023.
