CPH:DOX 2023 to open with Lin Alluna’s ‘Twice Colonized’

Lin Alluna’s Twice Colonized will open the 20^th Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival (CPH:DOX) on March 15.   

The feature debut from the Danish director follows the fight by Inuit lawyer Aaju Peter’s for the rights of Indigenous people. It had its world premiere at Sundance earlier this month in the world documentary cinema strand.

Twice Colonized is produced by Greenland’s Ánorâk Film in co-production with Inuit-owned, Nunavut-based Red Marrow Media and Canada’s EyeSteelFilm.

The documentary will open the festival on March 15 and also compete in the main competition NEXT:WAVE.

The full CPH:DOX line-up will be announced on February 21. The 2023 festival will take place from March 15-16.
