CPH:DOX 2021

“From the meteors of the past to the climate solutions of tomorrow. From outer space to the insides of the brain.” This year CPH:SCIENCE presents an all-encompassing programme that puts our relationship to tech, research and natural science under the microscope with ten international films and live debates.

The Copenhagen docfest will now run April 21 to May 12 and is working on a special film programme to hit the big screen when doors re-open. In addition, David Byrne, Marina Abramovic, Seyran Ates and numerous Danish/international artists, experts and public voices to take part in the festival’s Big Digital Live event.

Competition line-up comprises 64 titles, featuring 47 world premieres, 9 international premieres and 6 European premieres. 58% of the titles (or 37 films) are directed by one or more women (66% when including films co-directed by female and male directors). Fest runs April 21 – May 2.

“This year, Inter:Active will not be a physical exhibition. Instead we explore how digital art, extended reality and documentary can merge into a brand new interactive and digital live format,” says CPH:DOX CEO Tine Fischer. The thirteen new pieces chosen for the festival’s Inter:Active exhibition will be accessible globally April 21 - May 2.

Director Phie Ambo’s new doc follows the Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities and young environmentalists as they fight for a more sustainable world. 70/30 will be live transmitted on CPH:DOX’s streaming platform.
