The awards ceremony at CPH:DOX 2020, in continuation of the festival's temporary switch to a virtual event, was broadcast online Friday.
The main Dox:Award was presented to the Danish film 'Songs of Repression', directed by Marianne Hougen-Moraga and Estephan Wagner and produced by Final Cut for Real.
The jury emphasizes in its motivation that "the film offers a variety of complex, interesting and endearing characters and as the story unfolds it brings us magical cinematic moments that are true to the tradition of cinéma vérité when it is great". Read the full motivation.
Hougen-Moraga and Wagner's film also received the inaugural Politiken:Danish:Dox Award, launched by the Politiken daily.
