The Copenhagen International Documentary Festival (CPH:DOX) has hosted a panel discussing the state of the documentary field due to funding cuts in the U.S. and European countries, political challenges, and technological changes. The panel included Danish doc director and producer Andreas Dalsgaard, founder of Elk Film, Barbara Truyen, former head of documentaries /commissioning editor for Dutch public broadcaster VPRO, and Jon-Sesrie Goff, part of the Ford Foundation's Creativity and Free Expression team at the Freeman Foundation. Panelists highlighted the importance of broad-based European funding partnerships or networks of financing institutions for docs on the continent. Dalshandler also mentioned political hurdles faced by German broadcaster ARTE Deutschland, which does not accept the Danish foreign ministry as a funder.
