New Award for Science Documentaries at Copenhagen Festival

Imagine a film that mixes science and art in an exciting way. That's what the new Sandbox Films Science Pitch Prize is all about! This prize, announced by Sandbox Films and the CPH:DOX festival in Copenhagen, will give $25,000 to the best science documentary project pitched at the CPH:FORUM event. The first winner will be chosen in March 2025.

Sandbox Films is a company that loves making films about science. They teamed up with CPH:DOX because both groups want to support movies that explore science in creative ways. The prize will go to projects that are innovative, have artistic merit, and include diverse voices. This means the filmmakers should make complex ideas easy to understand for a wide audience. Previous projects pitched at the forum include films like "Architecton" by Victor Kossakovsky and "Fathom" by Drew Xanthopoulos. Both these movies show how science can be interesting and beautiful. The new prize will help more filmmakers make similar films.
