Tribeca 2023 / Sheffield Doc Fest 2023

Sundance 2023 / CPH:DOX 2023
„An emotional, artful journey.“ Roger Ebert
„The film shows how simply enduring can be its own form of resistance.“ Variety
„The strength of Twice Colonized lies with the way Alluna – a Dane whom Peter half-jokingly describes as “my coloniser” in the film – veers away from offering a picture-perfect, politically correct heroine or a mystic sage imparting nuggets of wisdom to the viewer. Here, Peter is shown to be just as human as any of her allies or detractors, thanks to the footage filmed by Alluna’s quartet of cinematographers and Mark Bukdahl’s editing.“ The Film Verdict
„Det giver stof til eftertanke.“ Ekko
„It’s a brave and generous undertaking from Peter, which is handled with respect and sensitivity by Alluna.“ Screen Daily
The Fall / Faldet / Director Andreas Koefoed / Editor Mark Bukdahl / Producer Sara Stockmann / Sound Design Morten Groth / Composer Bo Rande / Sonntag Pictures /
CPH:DOX 2022 /
„An affecting and sensitive film.“ Screen Daily
„At "Faldet" er endt som en så universel dragende fortælling er til stor ære for Koefoed og især klipper Mark Bukdahl, der har formået at transformere fragmenterne af en tragedie til en livsbekræftigende dannelseshistorie. Det er ganske enkelt en mageløs film, som står stærkere end de fleste coming-of-age-fiktionsfilm.“ Moovy
„Hans totale gehør for særligt Estrid og hendes mor, når de sidder over for hinanden som vrangvendt teenager og kærlig, men fortabt forælder er afsindigt rørende. Både når det er de helt store spørgsmål, det gælder, og når beslutningerne drejer sig om, hvorvidt Estrid skal beholde sit lange hår og forblive basic. Rørende er også de genialt rekonstruerede tilbageblik på ulykkesnatten, hvor alt svævede mellem liv og død.“ Jyllands-Posten

HOT DOCS 2022 / DANMARKS RADIO 2021 /
„Et af de mest sigende ungdomsportrætter i dansk dokumentarisme.“ Jyllands-Posten
„Følelserne er så overvældende, at de nødvendigvis må være evige. Efterskolen rammer dette på kornet.“ Weekendavisen
„Det kunne måske lyde som et nostalgitrip for den klub af mennesker, der har gået på efterskole, men serien efterlader et langt større indtryk end det. Med varsomt doserede interview og voiceover, temposkift og interessant klipning tegner serien et rørende portræt af skæbner, der flettes sammen, uden at det bliver overfortalt, men så man kan mærke det helt ind i knoglerne.“ Information
„Efterskolen er øm, nostalgisk og virkeligt godt klippet.“ Føljeton

„Only the most brutish and cold-hearted bully could resist falling for this utterly charming Danish documentary.” The Guardian
„This extreme gaming documentary is the best sports film of the year.” The Irish Times
„It’s kind of all over the place — scattered like the brilliant minds of its subjects — but despite the branching narrative, there’s an odd coalescence to it all, a throughline of friendship and camaraderie.” Film Pulse
„Never dull and always fun, and with a fantastic editing job by Mark Bukdahl, Cannon Arm is one of those surefire crowd-pleasers that Hot Docs audiences will love.“ Moviepie

BERLINALE 2020 / CPH:DOX 2020 /
„A monumental essay on our impending doom – and reinvention“ Variety
„One of the most original sci-fi movies in recent memory“ Indiewire
„A stunning posthumous work“ Screendaily
I Love You I Miss You I Hope I See You Before I Die / Director Eva Marie Rødbro / Editor Mark Bukdahl / DOP Eva Marie Rødbro & Troels Rasmus Jensen / Producer Julie Walenciak / Sound Designer Bo Asdal & Hans Christian Arnt Torp / Paloma Productions /
IDFA 2019 / HOT DOCS 2020 / CPH:DOX 2020 /
„Bukdahl's sugar-rush editing is crucial to the cumulative impact, displaying genuine virtuosity in selection and juxtaposition to keep the viewer janglingly on-edge from start to finish. His and Rodbro's preferred mode is blizzard-like sensory assault, which may prove too confrontational and staccato for some.“ The Hollywood Reporter
„I Love You I Miss You I Hope I See You Before I Die… pulls off a comparably humane balancing act to Sean Baker’s fiction feature “The Florida Project,” or even Andrea Arnold’s “American Honey,” albeit in far scruffier style: It examines the socioeconomic environment of middle-American poverty with a gaze both critical and impressionistic, without passing judgment on the individuals tangled up in it.“ Variety
