Copenhagen Dox Forum

November 11th, 2008 Posted in update

I’m really excited to be heading to Copenhagen tomorrow in time for the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival’s forum on creative distribution for creative docs.

I’ll be there asking the curators/fest directors/sales agents/distributors - whoever - how they see themselves fitting into the big picture in this new paradigm. I’m curious to see if and how they’re rethinking their relationships with audience and to listen to what ideas they’re bringing with them to the forum. I’m also looking forward to hearing what the filmmakers themselves have to say - as I’ll be taking in the proceedings with my own film in mind…

Read below for the full blurb - Lance is also speaking there as part of the event.

THE DOX:FORUM, 12-14 NOVEMBER 2008

Launched successfully in 2007, the DOX:FORUM is an exclusive 3 day market, running in conjunction with CPH:DOX.
The Forum presents a tightly packed program of work-in-progress presentations, pre-arranged one-on-one meetings, matchmaking events, distribution platform pitches and a line-up of seminars.

The DOX:FORUM has been launched to explore other distribution possibilities for documentary film than TV and focuses on theatrical as well as alternative distribution venues as museums, art galleries and online platforms.
Thus, the Forum positions itself as a new international meeting place for film professionals focusing on high quality, artistic and visually strong documentary films.

With a participant list counting major international distributors, sales agents, curators, festival directors, programmers from alternative and art venues and representatives from new online marking platforms, the Forum offers an excellent opportunity for filmmakers to introduce upcoming documentaries to international decision makers and to enhance distribution possibilities for their films. And with its exclusive selection of new, upcoming films, reflecting CPH:DOX overall interest in strong cinematic documentary film making, invited content seekers are given a priority chance for discovering the next big title on the international market before it hits the big winter and early spring venues.

      LISA SALEM set out to walk the whole of LA pushing a baby-stroller with a video-camera attached to the end of it, facing inwards. When people approached her, she invited them to walk with her while she videoed their conversations. She posted those videos to a blog and in the process attracted a large and intrigued audience to what she was doing. Since then, Lisa's been looking at the process of audience-building in detail. She lives in London now and when not working on her film-portrait of Los Angeles "WALK LA WITH ME", she runs workshops that help filmmakers be more independent.

      LANCE WEILER has written and directed two feature films (Head Trauma, The Last Broadcast) which he self distributed all over the world. Lance is the founder of the Workbook Project, and is currently working on a number of film, TV and cross-media projects.
