CPH:DOX, the internationally-renowned nonfiction film festival in Copenhagen, is confronting a dramatically altered geopolitical order, one that threatens the values of freedom of expression upon which the documentary field is founded.
The theme of this year's festival, decided several months ago, centers on "the state of human rights, civil liberties, and the international rule of law," festival artistic director Niklas Engstrøm tells Deadline. "We thought it would be very, very timely. I think it became even more timely than we had prepared ourselves for with what is happening right now with the U.S. [Trump] administration de facto trying to change the world order."
"Talking from a European perspective," Engstrøm continues, "it’s clear that what the U.S. administration is doing at the moment is really, really impacting Europe in profound ways, and European countries are taking it extremely seriously."
The festival convened its first ever summit this week, "bringing together politicians, innovators, researchers and documentary professionals to discuss the future of the audiovisual industry." From the opening moments, summit participants acknowledged the elephant in the room – the tilt towards right-wing nationalism on a global scale.
"With several European countries being only one election away from voting for illiberal and anti-democratic leaders," CPH:DOX managing director Katrine Kiilgaard said, "there’s more than an urgent need to bring forth the truthful stories and nuanced perspectives that the documentary genre cater to in order to uphold our democracy and shared democratic values in Europe and beyond."

But like the democrat platform it's difficult to decern any stated goals other than "Stop Trump".
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
Globalism is Sovereignty.....................
“CPH:DOX, the internationally-renowned nonfiction film festival in Copenhagen”
WOW! I’m so unimpressed.
There should be no other opinion but the state approved ones! That’s freedom to these troglodytes.
While “Anti-Democratic leaders” are removed from ballots and restrained from running for and even assuming power when they win.
As for outrage it appears expressing forbidden opinions will get you in legal trouble.
“With several European countries being only one election away from voting for illiberal and anti-democratic leaders”
As Reagan said, it’s what they believe that isn’t true...
What is wrong with this statement? “the state of human rights, civil liberties, and the international rule of law,”
How many trannies will attend?
The Left has no self-awareness. They truly are zombies.
Human rights and civil liberties. Like freedom of speech for example?
Some European countries are on the verge of electing illiberal leaders. Like Romania for example where the winner of the overturned election was somehow disqualified from running in the 2nd election?
Did you mean like in Britain or France where they don’t really have freedom of speech?
Did you mean like in the Netherlands and Austria where a coalition of the losers has combined to freeze out the party that actually won the elections?
Do you mean like in Germany where the establishment is doing all it can to sabotage, threaten and potentially ban the 2nd most popular political party?
Is that the order you’re talking about overturning?
Yes, it’s extraordinary how the people determined to silence the voices of those with different opinions and sometimes to even ban parties and candidates are pretending to be *for* freedom of speech, civil liberties, and democracy. As a general rule, whenever the left-wing EU (or Democrat) types use the word “democracy” they mean the strict, often oppressive top-down control by the no borders globalist elites over the little people of their nations, in other words the opposite of democracy.
That’s why they use the term ‘OUR’ democracy.
It’s classic 1984 Doublespeak.
Orwell was a prophet....................
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” - William F. Buckley, Jr.
Trump is trying to change the world order? Well if by that they mean Trump is working to return America to its position of dominance and respect as the leader of the free world instead of the pansified apologist america of the Bathhouse Barry/ Brandon era……
Then Hell YA!
