Food for thought?
Following the example of last year’s festival, the international and national competitions are now open to fiction films as documentaries. We said it last year and we repeat it again today: it is not a question of creating a sterile…

Min kollega, Tue Steen Müller har på rejse langt borte fået en julehilsen fra dette nye firma, som vil sælge kopier af fremragende nye danske dokumentarfilm, lige nu og til at begynne med indehavernes egne, men senere udvider de tre…
Pernille Rose Grønkjær: The Monastery
En af de mest bemærkelsesværdige film i lang tid, efter opsigtsvækkende rundrejse gennem et år til en række festvaler i udlandet, efter en tur i enkelte biografer herhjemme NU omsider i tv: DR2 mandag, 10. december kl. 20:55: Jeg…
cph:dox 9-17/11 Mechanical Love
Phie Ambo is one of the most obvious talents in new Danish documentary film. She showed great observational skills in her last film “Gambler” about the filmmaker Nikolaj Refn Winding (the “Pusher” trilogy), skills she is also using in her…
Cph:dox 9-17/11 Prisoner
Another strong story from the Iraqi war. This time about a journalist, Yunis Abbas, who was captured by the Americans accused for being part of a cell that planned to kill Tony Blair when he was to visit his war…
cph:dox 9-17/11 The Fall by Peter Whitehead
Oh, how joyful it is to discover something new, when you think that you know your documentary film history, have seen it (almost) all, at least what is considered as masterpieces and know where your priorities lie. And there comes…
cph:dox 9-17/11 Terror’s Advocate
“This is the director’s point of view on Jacques Vergès which may differ from the opinions of people interviewed in the film”. These words are to be found on screen at the start of this fascinating film about a man,…
cph:dox 9-17/11 Elle s’appelle Sabine
One of those films that are hard to watch. A beautiful young girl falls ill and turns into an aggressive young woman full of aggression to end up as a plump adult full of medication that can calm her down,…
cph:dox 9-17/11 Songbirds
Things are moving in the documentary genre. New and original ways of storytelling come out of the blue. Like in this case where British director Brian Hill went to the Downview Prison in Sutton England to make a film with…
Cph:dox 9-17/11 Zoo
Lad mig gøre det kort: lad være med at se den her film. Er du til pornografi, bliver du skuffet, er du til eksistentiel dybde, bliver du skuffet, er du til filmisk skønhed, bliver du først forført, siden skuffet. Folk…
cph:dox 9-17/11 Back to Normandy
It’s countryside again. This time Nicholas Philibert heads for Normandy, where he 30 years ago was the direction assistant of René Allio on the film “Moi, Pierre Rivière”, a “based on a true” story about a young man who in…
cph:dox 9-17/11 The Substitute
An excellent idea. A filmmaker gives a football star a camera and asks him to film from inside during the world cup championship in Germany 2006. And luckily for the film, but bad and sad for the player, he only…
cph:dox for femte gang
cph:dox har spurgt om vi vil lave et link til festivalens hjemmeside. Med allerstørste glæde. Denne festival har i løbet af fire år markeret sig stærkt i bevidstheden hos et antalsmæssigt stigende dokumentarpublikum, der går i byen for at få…
