Arina Kleist and Johannes Ujo Müller, film directors, are behind the two film contributions that will be screened this year at one of the world's largest documentary film festivals, CPH:DOX in Copenhagen.
Incidentally, along with many other films from and about Greenland.
- It is with great honor that I can announce that my newest short film 'Tamatta Ataqatigiippugut' (We are all connected) will be shown at CPH:DOX, writes Arina Kleist, a film director based in Qaqortoq, on Facebook.
The film will premiere at the festival on March 11th, along with the short film 'Erfalasorput' (Our Flag) by film director and photographer Johannes Ujo Müller.
While 'Tamatta Ataqatigiippugut' is centered around a letter to Sassuma Arnaa (Mother of the Sea), the film 'Erfalasorput' tells the story of the country's flag and its creator, Thue Christiansen.
- The story of the flag is a story about a symbol of identity, pride and unity with deep cultural and spiritual roots, says CPH:DOX's description of Johannes Ujo Müller's short film.
Earlier this month, the film and the people behind 'Erfalasorput' won three awards at the international film competition 'Oniros Film Awards 2026' in New York.
However, the two short films are far from the only films from and about Greenland that grace this year's festival program.
Among others, Joe Derrick's 'Qajaq Man', which was shown and filmed during the Nuuk Film Festival last year, will have its world premiere at CPH:DOX on March 11. The trailer for the now fully completed film can be seen on the film festival's website.
CPH:DOX takes place March 11 - 22 at various locations in Copenhagen.
