Organisers blame lack of funding and increased competition.
Danish international film festival Cph Pix has been shut down, with its organisers citing a lack of funding and increased competition for the decision to close the event after 12 editions.

Cph Pix was launched in 2008 by Jacob Neiiendam, who was festival director until 2018, following the merger of the Copenhagen International Film Festival and NatFilm Festival.

Reflecting the big issues examined in this year’s film lineup, the Copenhagen Documentary Film Festival’s (Cph:dox) industry section likewise grapples with such major topics as climate change, biodiversity and the tectonic shifts being felt far and wide in the global political and economic order.
The industry sidebar comprises the Forum financing and co-production event; the Conference series; the on-demand Market screening platform; the Lab talent development program; the Hub meeting and networking event; the educational Talents initiative; and the new Inter:Active Symposium, which focuses on new media.

Climate protection, the growing threats to ocean life, the FBI’s smear campaign against Martin Luther King Jr. and the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi by a Saudi death squad are just some of the wide-ranging topics examined at this year’s Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival (Cph:Dox), which kicks off Wednesday.
Since its establishment in 2003, the fest has straddled the sectors of film, politics, art and science like few others.
Among this year’s highlights are Phie Ambo’s opening film “70/30,” an up-close look at the combined efforts to pass Denmark’s landmark climate law, and fellow Danish filmmaker Robin Petré’s “From the Wild Sea,” which follows a team of volunteers in northern Europe struggling to save animals suffering from human-made catastrophes, from oil-covered swans and stranded whales to starving seals with stomachs full of plastic.

Les Arcs, Cph:Dox, Tallinn, Ghent, Dok Leipzig sign letter criticising move to network funding.
A group of 65 European film festivals have sounded the alarm over a unilateral decision by the European Union’s Media programme to abolish individual funding for their events in favour of network funding.
Under the move, festivals will be required to become a member of a consortium of festivals that will then apply for funding as a bloc and mete out what it secures between them.
Previously festivals made individual funding applications to Media, the film and audiovisual industries-focused strand of the EU’s Creative Europe programme.

Cannes 2020: During the “Socially Distant, Digitally Close” panel, the directors of Cph:dox and Séries Mania shared stories from the front line. Denmark’s documentary festival Cph:dox and France’s Séries Mania, originally scheduled to take place in the spring, had mere days to rethink their strategy following the sudden tightening of Covid-19 restrictions. Now, during the Cannes Marché du Film panel “Socially Distant, Digitally Close: Film Festivals and Markets During the Covid-19 Pandemic and Beyond” – moderated by Lucía Recalde Langarica, Head of Unit for the Audiovisual Industry and Media Support Programmes at Creative Europe Media – festival director Tine Fischer and Laurence Herszberg, Séries Mania’s general director, talked about how it felt to transition to the digital sphere in such a short period of time. “We have been trying not just because we wanted to reach a larger audience, but also, from a global, democratic perspective, because we really believe.
Right now, every film festival shares the same ambition: Get smarter about how to connect with audiences online. In the coming weeks, Hot Docs, Human Rights Watch, and AFI Docs will present online lineups; at Doc NYC, where I’m the artistic director, we are busily adapting to new realities for our November festival.
We’ve also seen online festivals inspire pessimism from some sales agents and programmers — but we don’t have time for that kind of thinking. Many filmmakers can’t hold back their work until next year, when competition will only increase for premiere slots and buyer attention, and many festivals can’t wait because they will cease to exist without revenue. We all need to keep getting smarter, faster.
While we all want to get back into theaters, the public is swiftly adapting to watch online content non-stop. Everyone from health care workers to dancers are...

Following the footsteps of major festivals including Cannes and Venice, five Nordic festivals have joined forces to sign the 50/50 by 2020 gender equality pledge.
Initiated by Wift Nordic (Women in Film and Television), the pledge for gender parity and inclusion was signed Monday by officials from Sweden’s Carl, Denmark’s Cph:dox, Oslo Pix in Norway, Tampere from Finland and Northern Wave in Iceland.
Through the pledge, the festivals committed to increasing gender equality in the programming, as well as within their staffing by 2020. The pledge has now been signed by most international festivals, from Cannes to Venice, Toronto, Locarno and Berlin.
“When it comes to structural and political change I believe in data and transparency and I
believe in commitment and collective awareness but before anything I believe in action,” said Tine Fischer, the festival director of Cph:dox who started getting involved with the 50/50 by 2020 advocacy group last year.

Sergei Eisenstein. Leni Riefenstahl. Michael Moore. Steve Bannon? At an event entitled “Alternative Facts: The Steve Bannon Reality Show” on the opening weekend of the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival (Cph:dox), writer and host Lars Trier Mogensen argued that Trump’s chief strategist might just be the most influential filmmaker among these titans of polemical documentary. A year ago, that claim might have seemed far-fetched.
Back then, the young crowd now packed into the “Social Cinema,” a performance hall in festival’s new center Kunsthal Charlottenborg, had likely never heard of this alt-right auteur. Lounging on stylish sofas, they were willing to sit through nine tedious Bannon trailers and a two-hour analysis of populism and propaganda with a Princeton professor, political scientist Jan-Werner Müller, and artist Christian von Borries. Given Bannon’s disdain for factual integrity, it would be hard to claim that his 90-minute political screeds could even be called documentaries.

Exclusive: Joint initiative Propellor Film Tech Hub will champion innovation in how films are produced, distributed and experienced; fourth partner is Berlin-based company Cinemathon.
The new scheme is being launched today (December 8).
Propellor is a joint initiative between the International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr), Berlin’s European Film Market (Efm), Copenhagen-based film festival Cph:dox and Berlin-based film innovation studio Cinemathon.

Exclusive: In a major shift to the documentary festival landscape, Cph:dox has announced it is to change dates.
The Copenhagen International Documentary Festival is to move from its current November slot to March - and will not run in 2016.

Cph:dox has broken its own audience record for the 12th consecutive year.
This year’s tally was 83,900 visitors, up 20% from 70,100 last year. Of those, 3,586 were online views.
There were 1,356 delegate industry visitors.
Tine Fischer, festival director at Cph:dox, said: “Cph:dox has both audience- and industry-wise experienced an outstanding year. We are extremely happy, but hands down the most important thing that has happened this year without comparison, is that the festival has really taken the documentary into an active social and political space with its new project Megatrends. The project is not limited to journalistic criticism and analysis, but puts more focus on how we can get an active dialogue going on some of the most important global issues and challenges. The interaction, innovation and strengthening of an active democratic dialogue have been the objectives and we think it has had a flying start. The project is intended as a recurring initiative and we are looking forward...

The Act of Killing, Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn and Anonymous’s jaw-dropping tale of war crimes, guilt and moviemaking, took the top prize at Cph:dox here in Copenhagen Friday night. The film, pictured above, boasts Werner Herzog and Errol Morris as executive producers and follows a group of former death squad leaders as they make Hollywood-style movies based on their murders of communists, ethnic Chinese and intellectuals following Indonesia’s military coup in 1965.
