Copenhagen Denmark's CPH: DOX unveiled its 11th annual lineup this week with 200 films including 57 world and international premieres joining the roster. The Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, taking place November 7 – 17, will spotlight the “correlation between documentaries and artists,” featuring two curated programs by Ai Weiwei and The Yes Men.
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has selected 10 films for this year's festival under the banner “Everything Is Under Control.” CPH: DOX will also host the world premiere of Ai Weiwei's new film, Stay Home!, about a 10-year old girl who is not allowed to receive medical care for her HIV-infection, because she is the second child in the family. And activist duo The Yes Men will bring the mainstream media into focus with eight features, which urge viewers to “think for themselves.”
New this year is the festival's F:ACT Award competition which spotlights “investigative journalism.” Among the dozen films screening in the section are Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets – The Story of WikiLeaks and Errol Morris' The Unknown Known. Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez's Manakamana, which had its U.S. debut at the recent New York Film Festival, meanwhile, will screen in CPH: DOX's New Visions section.
The competition lineup follows:
DOX:AWARD: The films nominated for DOX:AWARD are our selection of what CPH Dox consider this year’s “best international documentaries.” In this category, are the world premieres of Ai Weiwei, the world-renowned photographer Antoine d’Agata as well as many others.
