CPH:DOX 2014 Closing Award Ceremony will not be reviewed…
… because this year I wasn’t invited. I really should stop bashing their opening venue, and if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all… and all that... you know… (I hear the ceremony was tasteful, though). I did go to the after-party upon receiving a mail in the afternoon from the organizers about some wrongly announced times, so at that point I knew when NOT to go for drinks at the French embassy and the awards show at Hotel d’Angleterre. But why do I care? I care because I want CPH:DOX to also be my festival. I care about the genre which I work with practically everyday year round and I want the festival to be something that I look forward to, even though I don’t have a film shown or a project being pitched. Yes, I do already look forward to it and I do watch a great deal of films (and review a couple at www.filmkommentaren.dk ), but I kind of miss that the festival embraces the local professional community a bit more. Not because we are professionals,
