After 12 intense days of film festival and with theatrical screenings of festival films continuing for several days after the official end of the event, CPH:DOX Artistic Director Niklas Engstrøm has any reason to be exhausted. But that is not at all like the founding member who has been with the growing platform for international non-fiction cinema for more than 20 years. In this time, CPH:DOX has grown to one of the world's most respected and influential showcases of contemporary documentary films. Just after the 2rd edition's award ceremony, Niklas Engstrøm delayed the after show celebrations for an interview with Lidanoir. They discuss the unprecedented challenges to truth due to AI, the essential role of fact-based cinema in a populist age, and the ever-expanding future of the festival.
