CPH:CONFERENCE 2025

CPH:CONFERENCE presented in partnership with CPH:DOX returns for another exciting edition with a refreshed structure. 

As a brand new initiative, we are launching an Annual Summit. This high-level event will bring together politicians, policy makers and industry representatives, providing a unique space for thought-provoking discussions on policies, the future of the audiovisual industry, its role in shaping public discourse, and the impact of documentary on society. The first edition is curated by Mark Edwards, former commissioning editor at ARTE France and former Director of Documentaries in Europe at Netflix, currently working as an independent producer and media consultant. Co-presented by the Danish Producers’ Association, the Summit takes place on Monday, March 24 from 13:00-17:30 and we strongly encourage you to join! The event is open to all accredited guests.

Following the Summit, from March 25-27, the Conference will see mornings being spearheaded by Thom Powers who will host a series of in-depth interviews with prominent filmmakers present at CPH:DOX, when we gather for “A Morning With…” Our returning format "Dialogues on Craft" will delve into the art and craft of filmmaking, sharing insights into the latest techniques and creative approaches. 

Curating the afternoon sessions for this edition will be Mandy Chang, creative director of Undeniable Productions. Mandy will handpick animated panels and keynotes focusing on the most urgent topics in non-fiction filmmaking, production and distribution.

The Conference will conclude on March 28 with the return of the "Climate Story Lab Nordic", with a focus on developing effective stories and engagement strategies to inspire meaningful action on climate change.
