Three awards were presented at the 2023 #CPH:FORUM in various categories by Eurimages and Unifrance. The Special Eurimages Development Award, worth €20,000, was given to support the Ukrainian film industry. The project that received the award was RED ZONE, directed by #Iryna Tsilyk# and produced by MOON MAN (Darya Bassel, Ukraine), which offers a personal and female perspective on the impact of war.

CPH:FORUM and Eurimages have partnered for the tenth year to present the Eurimages Co-Production Development Award, which this year went to ONLY ON EARTH by #Robin Petré# and produced by Hansen & Pedersen (Signe Skov Thomsen, Malene Flindt Pedersen, Denmark, Spain). The film takes viewers on a journey into Galicia, one of Europe’s hottest fire zones, where wild horses play a crucial role in fire prevention but are threatened by the clash between humans and nature.

This year, CPH:FORUM, #Unifrance, and TitraFilm introduced the Unifrance Doc Award for the best French majority or minority co-produced pitch. The winning project, CUBA & ALASKA, produced by 2Brave Productions (Olha Beskhmelnytsina, Ukraine) and TAG Film (Christian Popp, France). The project depicts two young paramedic women Cuba and Alaska live on the edge in the war-torn #Kharkiv region – their mission is to save lives while sharing good humour, and belief in victory.
