Last year, the pandemic pushed the festival to online-only but this year it’s back in-person from 23rd March to 3rd April, as Copenhagen’s art hall becomes the HQ for CPH:DOX and the city’s cinemas host countless documentary films from all over the world.
We flew out there to experience the festival for the first time in-person, and we will again be covering one particular category – the Nordic:DOX Award…
The 12 Nominees for the Nordic:DOX Award:
(In no particular order):
- All That Remains to Be Seen (Julie Bezerra Madsen / Denmark, Finland / 2022)
- Daughters (Jenifer Malmqvist / Sweden, Denmark)
- Behind the Swedish Model (Viktor Nordenskiöld / Sweden / 2022)
- Karaoke Paradise (Einari Paakkanen / Finland / 2022)
- Just Animals (Saila Kivelä, Vesa Kuosmanen / Finland / 2022)

We will dive in and watch all 12 films and report back over the course of the next week. The festival is a great platform for the directors to showcase their films in the hope they will get picked up by distributors to open up to a worldwide audience.
