AND THE CORD WON A DOX:AWARD SPECIAL MENTION CPH:DOX !

Statement from the Jury:
Giving room for a decent birth as a metaphor for resistance in a bodily form, this emerging voice captivated us with its humanity, tenacity and empathy. The jury would like to acknowledge this filmmaker-to-watch with an honorable mention.

Congratulations to Nolwenn Herve for her unforgettable debut, The Cord.

Nolwenn Hervé gave a very emotional speech:

This is my first feature film, it took me more than 5 years to make it. I had time to reflect as filmmaker but also as a woman. I imagine we’re here both to share stories and to offer perspectives on the world.

After CPH, my film will begin another journey. I’d like this film not to be seen as a women’s film made by a woman for women.

I’d like everyone in this room—and beyond—to feel a personal connection to the plight of women. You all have at least a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a wife… When women are threatened, entire communities and families are thrown into turmoil.

It’s clear that even in our own countries, in Europe or elsewhere, women are under threat—and it has to be everybody’s matter.

How do we stop this? I believe, among other things, through film/cinema—by highlighting our skills rather than our physical appearance as women, as it is too often the case still in 2026—and by making space for us women and other marginalized groups of filmmakers to share our stories and bring change.

My film is set in Venezuela, but it’s clear that even in our own countries, in Europe or elsewhere, the rise of conservatism, the of crises, are threatening sexual and reproductive rights—and it has to be everybody’s matter.

How do we fight against this? I believe, among other things, through film/cinema—by highlighting our skills rather than our physical appearance as women, as it is too often the case still in 2026—and by making space for us women and other marginalized groups of filmmakers to share our stories and bring change.

LE CORDON : QUAND LES FEMMES RISQUENT LEUR VIES POUR DONNER NAISSANCE.

Au cœur d'un pays en ruine, où la vie ne tient qu'à un fil et l'accès aux soins devient un luxe, Carolina fait figure de guerrière de la maternité. Puisant sa force dans un passé tourmenté, avec sa fondation, elle maintient sans relâche le lien vital entre les femmes enceintes et leurs bébés.

LE CORDON de Nolwenn Hervé aura sa Première mondiale le 14 mars en compétition internationale à CPH:DOX 2026.

THE CORD: WHEN WOMEN RISK THEIR LIVES TO GIVE BIRTH.

In a broken country where life hangs by a thread and access to care has become a luxury, Carolina rises as a maternity warrior. Drawing strength from her past, and with the support of her foundation, she relentlessly preserves the vital cord between pregnant women and their babies.

LE CORDON de Nolwenn Hervé will have its World premiere on the 14th of march in the international competition of CPH:DOX 2026.
