New talent development and production program commisioned by CPH:DOX
 

In the spirit of supporting new talent, CPH:DOX in 2009 launched an exclusive talent workshop DOX:LAB, handpicking a small number of young, international filmmakers and artists to participate in an experimental documentary laboratory. DOX:LAB is a talent development and production program - a laboratory where filmmakers in teams of two are challenged to think differently and find new approaches to the process of filmmaking - aesthetically as well as economically. The core of the concept is an actual and equal meeting between different cultures, filmhistories, narrative traditions and methods of and access to production. The filmmakers represent the up-and-coming talent in their countries, they are in their early years of their professional careers and the laboratory-like setting with very limited commercial business constraints will hopefully encourage a personally devoted and free thinking cinema
