Which film should win this year’s AUDIENCE:AWARD?
Tuesday 19th Mar 2024
In our new AUDIENCE:AWARD, it is you, the festival’s many guests, who vote for the films you like the most.
The films nominated for our AUDIENCE:AWARD cover all the premieres in this year’s programme. And that is no small feat, as world premieres, international premieres and European premieres make up the vast majority of the titles that are part of the programme of CPH:DOX 2024.
A total of 115 titles will compete for the audience’s favor, and after each screening you have a ticket to, you will be sent a link with the option to rate the film you have just seen. On March 22, it will be revealed which film, the audience has decided, deserves to win this year’s AUDIENCE:AWARD.
So be sure to let us know when you’ve seen a film that has made a special impression on you. After all, it could be your vote that decides it all! The award comes with a prize of 5,000 euros. Below are a few of the films that are in the running right now (in random order). But remember, nothing is set in stone and a lot can change. There’s still time to buy tickets to many of the films and help choose this year’s winner.
