CPH PIX plans new editing initiative

The third edition of CPH PIX film festival for features will offer talented international second and third time filmmakers a chance to bring their current project to Copenhagen and work with noted Danish film editors.

As a 2011 pilot project, CPH PIX has created a new platform for knowledge-sharing and creative professional cooperation between filmmaker and film editor.
 
‘We want to invite people in. It is important that our international guests experience at first hand the sense of knowledge-sharing and dialogue that is tradition in Danish film production and provides for a unique, creative working environment,’ says Jacob Neiiendam, Festival Director, CPH PIX.

With the editing workshop, CPH PIX offers a handful of talented filmmakers working on their second and third feature the opportunity to bring their current project to Copenhagen and have a private session with a team of prominent Danish film professionals comprised of a director and an editor.

CPH PIX will make a cinema available and provide for a private screening of the invited director’s preliminary material. After the screening session, the director will have the opportunity to further discuss his work within this closed forum.
 
The workshop takes place April 26 to April 29 in Copenhagen, and attending the workshop only necessitates that the participants can set aside one day in their schedules.
 
The editing workshop is organized in collaboration with the National Film School of Denmark (Thomas Krag) and Copenhagen Entertainment.    
 
The workshop is part of an ongoing initiative to promote Denmark as a co-production partner.

“We want filmmakers to feel the positive vibes in Denmark and hopefully inspire them to see our country as a creative hub central to both Europe and the rest of the world,” Neiiendam said.
