For the 6th time, the Nordic Documentary Film Festival, NORDOX is held in China. This year, they are expanding to Shanghai and Guangzhou in addition to Beijing.
NORDOX celebrates its 6th anniversary this year with a selection of more than twenty films from all five Nordic Countries. The film festival will present a range of new films and in addition show a selection of their best screenings from the five previous years of the festival. One major focus of this year’s festival is North Korea. The documentary ‘The Red Chapel’ explores the political and social environment of one of the last countries truly closed off from the outsider’s gaze.
Since its conception in 2006, NORDOX has become a platform for some of the best Nordic documentary films in Beijing. This year, the film festival will also ‘go on the road’, visiting Guangzhou and Shanghai for the first time. The vision of NORDOX is to explore the language of documentary film and screen documentaries that are cutting-edge, artistically ambitious and relevant. The festival also hopes to spread knowledge about Nordic culture in China, as well as create opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue. The selected documentaries outline Nordic perspectives on a diversity of themes including politics, society, environmental issues, art and music.
NORDOX takes place in Guangzhou from 19 November to 4 December.
