European Film Promotion, CPH:DOX Launch Online Showcase for U.S. Buyers Europe! On Demand
Online showcase Europe! On Demand will present a curated selection of seven European documentaries from the CPH:DOX lineup to U.S. buyers.
Mara Gourd-Mercado, head of industry and training at CPH:DOX, said the selection offered “a great opportunity for European documentaries to gain visibility and potential distribution in the North American market.” “See You Tomorrow on the Moon” (France) by Thomas Balmès, a poignant documentary about a young family navigating terminal illness and palliative care; “The Castle” (France, Italy) by Danny Biancardi, Virginia Nardelli and Stefano Giuseppe La Rosa, which follows three children in Palermo as they turn an abandoned building into a secret refuge from the violence of the outside world; “Flophouse America” (Norway, Netherlands, U.S.) by Monica Strømdahl, an intimate portrait of a 12-year-old boy growing up in a household marked by substance abuse, but also love and dreams of a better future; “The Helsinki Effect” (Finland) by Arthur Franck, an archival essay exploring the narratives of the Cold War era and their impact on global diplomacy; “Sanatorium” (Ireland, Ukraine, France) by Gar O’Rourke, a visually striking look at life inside the brutalist Kuyalnik Sanatorium in Odesa, where a group searches for healing, love and happiness despite the war raging nearby. “Girls & Gods” (Austria) by Verena Soltiz and Arash T. Riahi, a thought-provoking exploration of whether monotheistic religions can be feminist, following radical activists challenging traditional religious structures; “Black Water” (Spain) by Natxo Leuza, which tells the story of climate displacement in Bangladesh, where rising sea levels force thousands to migrate to the capital each day.
