Kunsthal Charlottenborg

Nyhavn 2, 1051 København K

Directions

Public transport: Kunsthalen Charlottenborg, the center of the festival, is located very centrally. Kunsthal Charlottenborg is close to several bus lines and a metro station, making it easy to take public transport to the art hall. You can use the following transport options: Metro: M1, M2, M3, M4 to Kongens Nytorv Metro Station Bus: 23, 26 to Kongens Nytorv

Parking: There are many different parking garages nearby, although none are very close. Therefore, we recommend arriving in another way to avoid the hassle.

There is one handicap parking space in the courtyard in front of Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

Accessibility Guide

CPH:DOX at Charlottenborg this year is designed by Aspekt Studio and Sylvester Struckmann, focusing on three main themes; Inclusivity, sustainability, and the body. Based on ideas from universal design, we, along with Bevica Fonden, have tried to make the setup more inclusive. In this year’s Social Cinema, there are more wheelchair spaces, a hearing loop, various types of seating, acoustic regulation, etc. As something completely new, a projection cube has been set up, where selected AV works are shown from floor to ceiling, and the audience can stand, sit, or lie down during the performance.

Inter:Active exhibition: There are two to three works that are not accessible. However, it is easy to get around, and the remaining works can be easily accessed.

Companion: Of course, CPH:DOX has a companion arrangement, so you can bring a companion for free to your desired screening. If you want a companion seat, just contact tickets@cphdox.dk.

There was Nothing Here Before

Yvann Yagchi / Switzerland / 2024 / 71 min

+ Talk: Heritage and Trauma through generations

No matter where in the world they were born, people of Palestinian or Jewish descent must relate to the unresolved situation in Palestine and Israel, even though they may never have been there - and even more now than ever before. How does the inherited trauma arise and why does it hurt so much to talk about it, even when you were born and raised abroad and want justice and peace first and foremost? Meet the film's director, Yvann Yagchi, in conversation with two of the co-authors of the citizen proposal 'Denmark has a duty to prevent genocide', doctor Suher Othman, who has Palestinian roots, and peace activist Yonatan Goldhstein, who has a Jewish background, in a conversation about how wars and conflicts far away cast heavy shadows over everyone with ties to both Palestine and Israel - through several generations. The conversation will be moderated by investigative journalist Kevin Shakir from DR Dokumentar.
Language: English

After the film, we ask the difficult but important questions about how we should relate to Israel and what meaning our words and actions have.

Meet the film's protagonist Simone Zimmerman and the film's producer Daniel J. Chalfen in conversation.
