CPH:LAB 2025/2026 projects revealed! 💫 Nine new international immersive documentary projects have been selected for CPH:DOX’s talent development and training programme, CPH:LAB.   CPH:LAB introduces a curated line-up showcasing a diversity of topics, genres and artistic approaches as well as a diverse representation among the storytellers. The participants will go through an intense development phase and be ready to present their prototypes at CPH:DOX 2026, which takes place in Copenhagen March 11-22. Read more about the nine projects and teams selected for CPH:LAB here: https://lnkd.in/dKBvyuux CPH:LAB’s project line-up deals with a wide range of stories, personal and collective, local and universal, reflecting the world at large. Focusing on the depth and variety of the immersive documentary genre, the nine projects – bringing together 20 core participants from 11 countries – is curated to point to some of the major issues of the current and past world politics, culture, society and technology. Mark Atkin, Head of Studies at CPH:LAB, says: ‘’When artists create documentaries it has the power to be truly transformative. At a time when the documentaries that we see on television are becoming increasingly homogenised, it is in the shape-shifting, cross-disciplinary immersive and interactive sector that we are starting to see some of the most crucial, challenging, and affecting factual work. The CPH:LAB remains one of the few truly experimental and risk-taking programmes that is set to take documentary form into the future and make sure that it appeals to new generations of digital natives. I look forward to welcoming the exciting new cohort that will be taking us on this new voyage of discovery.’’ Stella Ntavara, Mara Gourd-Mercado (Elle/ She/ Her), Chiara Vega Saenz
