2025 marks the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival (CPH:DOX) where they will showcase 12 documentaries in their main competition, all debuting for the first time. The festival will also screen films across its other sections and will emphasize human rights issues. A notable theme that appears throughout is the connection between humans and other animals, or simply put, the relationship between us and our animal counterparts.
To sum up, the festival showcases over 200 movies, with a significant number being world premieres (94), and a substantial portion being full-length features (68). This year’s theme for the event is “In the Moment, In the Place.
Competing films encompass a variety of themes: For instance, Monica Strømdahl’s “Flophouse America” delves into a 12-year-old boy bravely confronting his parents’ alcohol addiction. Another film, Deming Chen’s “Always”, focuses on a Chinese child uncovering the strength in poetry. Jens Stoltenberg’s final year as NATO Secretary General is chronicled in Tommy Gulliksen’s “Facing War”. Lastly, Alisa Kovalenko’s “My Dear Theo” follows a mother, soldier, and filmmaker sharing her insights from the Ukrainian frontline.
World premieres outside of competitions feature two intriguing titles: Ai Weiwei’s “Animality” delves into the complex connections humans share with animals, and Nathan Grossman’s “Climate in Therapy” centers around seven climate scientists discussing their collective concerns about climate change in a desolate conference room through group therapy sessions.
In the Next:Wave program, films such as Kristina Shtubert’s “Abode of Dawn,” detailing a decade spent in a Christian cult amidst the Siberian wilderness, “Unanimal” narrated by Isabella Rossellini and directed by Tuva Björk and Sally Jacobson, which delves into the intricate bond between humans and other animals, Gaspard Hirschi’s “I Am Night at Noonday,” where Don Quixote is reborn in Marseille and embarks on a quest to challenge fences, property rights, and segregation with his sidekick, an ex-criminal pizza delivery man on a scooter, and Tova Mozard’s “ILoveRuss,” which chronicles a 20-year friendship between two artistic souls on the outskirts of Hollywood, testing illusions and realities while capturing an unfiltered and personal documentary.
