CPH:Roughcut Filmmakers Talk Ukraine, OnlyFans, Migrant Hunter in Bulgaria, Stav Shaffir, Herding Tradition Under Threat (EXCLUSIVE)
Oscar-nominated producer Kirstine Barfod’s ‘The Alarmist’ is among five documentaries to be pitched today in Copenhagen.
“Virtual Girfriends,” which dives into the unchartered world of the paid adult content platform OnlyFans, is Czech director Barbora Chalupová and producer Pavla Klimešová’s latest urgent film about the internet and its impact on society, after their successful “Caught in the Net,” about child abuse online, which premiered at CPH:DOX in 2020. “Shaffir had a lot of affection for Scandinavia, where she had hitchhiked in her early 20s and was a huge fan of [the TV drama] “Borgen.” She admires many things about Denmark, not least its welfare state,” says the director, who then asked Israeli filmmaker Tomer Slutzky (Bronca!” “Jews by Choice”) to join in. Winner of the CPH:DOX Eurimages Development Award 2022, “The Last Nomads” is set in the pristine mountains of Montenegro, where a semi-nomadic mother Gara and her daughter Nada defend their herding tradition and their land from becoming a NATO military training ground.
