CPH:FORUM is CPH:DOX' international financing and co-production event, dedicated to supporting creative, visual and auteur driven films

CPH:FORUM was the first pitching venue for many great projects such as Searching For Sugarman, Armadilo and The Act of Killing.

CPH:FORUM is CPH:DOX's international financing and co-production event, dedicated to supporting creative, visual and auteur driven films.

CPH:FORUM is a three-day international financing event during CPH:DOX, which facilitates the development and financing of creative and visually strong film projects.

CPH:FORUM brings together key European and international financiers, industry professionals and producers intent on discovering the latest independent and innovative works in development from documentary filmmakers, fiction filmmakers and visual artists.

CPH:FORUM explores new, untested ways of breaking down conventional notions of genre. By inviting and connecting professionals from the worlds of non-fiction, fiction and visual art, we want to initiate new dialogues, open up new windows and enable new production and financing models.

The FORUM has 3 main focus areas:

FICTIONONFICTION
challenging works in the ever-growing hybrid landscape between fiction and non-fiction.

CINEMA
high-end theatrical feature length documentaries with international distribution potential.

ART
film projects to be screened both within the institution of cinema and that of visual arts.


The selected film projects will be presented to an excellent line-up of major international funds, sales agents, buyers, distributors, broadcasters, online platforms, festivals, museums and other film and art institutions in order to create an exclusive and diversified meeting and networking place where leading Nordic, European and international professionals will develop strong working relations across fiction, documentary and the arts.

The decision makers will have access to view online trailers, along with synopses, biographical information and headline budget figures, in advance of CPH:FORUM.

CPH:FORUM offers:

• Project presentations
  
• Tailored one-on-one meetings with financiers and co-production partners
  
• Seminars and case studies on new financing and distribution models
  
• Networking, dinners and great fun!

For the CPH:FORUM 2013 we will open submissions of projects on 20th May 2013.

We look forward to seeing you in November 2013!
