As one of the largest documentary film festivals in the world, CPH:DOX is set to kick off its 21st year, running from 13 – 24 March in Copenhagen. CPH:DOX was founded in 2003 and continues to develop and expand, presenting a programme that ranges from major international film works to new talents, from large-scale theatrical releases to film/video works in the field between cinema and visual art. The program goes beyond traditional boundaries between disciplines and media, offering perspectives on creative crossovers between cinema, television, new media, and art.
