CPH:DOX 2018 presents Max Cooper, Marshall Jefferson x Boiler Room & more

The best film festival in and for the world

Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival – also known as CPH:DOX is one of the biggest documentary film festivals in the world. It’s fifteenth edition is happening once again in the Danish capital from March 15-25, and will show more than 200 documentaries from around the world, with a wide range of music and visual art events, exhibitions, seminars and more.

History of CPH:DOX

Founded back in 2003 CPH:DOX has experienced a tremendous growth over the last decade growing from 14,000 admissions in its first year to a record-breaking total of 97,500 admissions last year and is being heavily supported by both national and international film professionals and press. 

The cph dox program ranges from the works of major international directors to new talent, from large-scale theatrical releases to film/video works in the field between cinema and visual art. And regardless if the topic is political, philosophical, experimental or focused on a narrow section of the world, the documentary films at cph dox expands and questions the viewer’s conception of the world. 

“CPH:DOX doesn’t just show documentary films – we anchor them in social context through debates, artist talks, events and masterclasses. In the hope of creating real social transformation, CPH:DOX establishes a space for reflection, dialogue and opinion across the population, with that making sure that the films and the problems they pose stay with the viewers long after they leave the cinema.”

 

More than a film festival

CPH:DOX has evolved over the years to more than a film festival by connecting all art forms, from film to visual art and music events. During the eleven days of CPH:DOX 2018 the festival will present a wide spectrum of art exhibitions, professional seminars, a screening market, the film production program CPH:LAB, and its concert series – AUDIO:VISUALS which we will cover in more detail below.

Event Info

CPH:DOX x Vega pres. Max Cooper

Max Cooper, the musician and professor in bioinformatics returns to Copenhagen after we last saw him at Distortion Festival 2017, with his captivating electronic music – this time as part of cph dox 2018 concert series AUDIO: VISUALS. On his recent EP ‘World Passing City’, Max Cooper has worked with different interpretations of the term of time. Max Cooper is discovering the ubiquitous and inevitable experience of the term. The electronic music DJ  & producer is an eminent sound designer, who has also deepened in the intersection of science, music and art on previous releases.

“I wondered if our experience of time could be explained … where time is just a physical dimension in which things grow, with us experiencing now as the cusp of inflation.”

Both the visual and musical ideas for the epoch are emitted by train journeys, which have since developed into individual tracks in the study. In collaboration with the experimental visual artist Kevin McGloughlin, Cooper has also created a video presentation of World Passing City, which will be shown to the concert. Science and nature seem to fit perfectly with Coopers organic dark tones and heavy basses. The wide palette of sounds and moods in Cooper’s compositions creates both light and darkness. It strikes in a wide range of state of mind, whether you’re in the nightclub at. four at night or lying in bed on Sunday morning.
