Katrine Philp is a Danish film director born in 1978. She initially studied film production design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later studied at the National Film School of Denmark from where she graduated as a documentary director in 2009.[1][2]

Life and career

Philp started her career in 2009 with her graduation film Book of Miri. The film was selected for the IDFA Student Competition and won the European Young CIVIS Media award in Germany.[1]

Philp is a former dancer. After being invited to a ballroom training session, she met with dancers who would become the protagonists of her first feature documentary Dance For Me in 2013.[3] Dance For Me was nominated at the 2015 Emmy Awards in the category ‘Outstanding Arts and Culture Programming’.[4]

Philp co-founded in 2014 the Danish documentary production company Good Company Pictures, along the side of directors Kasper Astrup Schröder and Boris Benjamin Bertram, and producer Katrine A. Sahlstrøm.[5]

In 2018, Philp directed False Confessions. The film investigate the case of several people in United States, including Korey Wise, Malthe Thomsen and Renay Lynch who have falsely confessed to crimes they didn't commit, caused by interrogation techniques that use brutal psychological manipulation, including lying about evidence, to secure a confession.[6][7]

Philp directed in 2020 the documentary Beautiful Something Left Behind, which follows young children during a period of their grief, as they just lost one or both parents.[8][9]

The film was previously called An Elephant in the Room and was part of the main competition in the 2020 SXSW Film Festival under this title. Although the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition took place and Philp won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary.[10]

During the filming of the film, Philp’s dad died unexpectedly. Filming kids going through grief and experiencing a similar loss helped her going through her own grief.[11] She dedicated the film to her father.[12]
