About the foundation

CPH:DOX, founded in 2003, has grown into one of Europe's most influential documentary film festivals, with a year-round presence anchored by its industry arm, CPH:LAB. The festival's founding ethos was to expand the documentary form beyond traditional boundaries, embracing artistic experimentation, cross-media practices, and urgent social critique. CPH:LAB, in particular, functions as an incubator for non-fiction projects that challenge conventional storytelling, supporting works that intersect film, visual art, technology, and performance. Its core mission is to provide a platform for risk-taking artists and filmmakers whose work might otherwise struggle to find institutional support, fostering a community that values formal innovation as much as thematic depth.

Application guidance

Artists and filmmakers approaching CPH:DOX should first familiarize themselves with the festival's distinct curatorial profile, which favors work that pushes the boundaries of non-fiction. For CPH:LAB, proposals should articulate a clear artistic vision and a willingness to engage in a collaborative development process. Avoid generic pitches; instead, demonstrate how your project challenges conventional documentary forms or engages with pressing contemporary issues in innovative ways. It is advisable to review past CPH:LAB projects and CPH:DOX programs to understand the expected level of formal experimentation. Applications typically require a strong visual or conceptual sample, a detailed project description, and a realistic production plan. Given the competitive nature, early preparation and attention to the specific guidelines of each call are essential.
