Jeg arbejder som web redaktør, presseansvarlig og filmkonsulent på EDN - European Documentary Network. EDN er en organisation med fokus på international ko-produktion af dokumentarfilm. Vi arrangerer workshops, finansieringsfora, seminarer og leverer brancherelateret information gennem web og print.
Desuden er jeg Outreach Producer på det svenske filmproduktionsselskab Auto Images i Malmö, hvor jeg tilrettelægger og udfører outreach-kampagner for nye filmproduktioner.

Ove Rishøj Jensen holds a master degree in film studies with additional studying of cultural journalism and humanistic computer informatics. Ove has been with EDN since Winter 2003 and is in charge of the EDN web site, runs various documentary screenings, workshops, seminars and master classes, participates in the selection of projects to workshops and pitching sessions as well as handling press & communication.
Ove’s work with the EDN web site has focused on developing a platform, where a network as geographical divided as EDN’s, can have a meeting place for collaboration and information sharing. This has resulted in formats like EDN Online Master Classes, where leading documentary figures share their knowledge about filmmaking, and EDN Online Sessions, where important financiers are introduced and their financing possibilities presented. Latest format is The EDN Online Pitching Session, where documentary projects with a specific thematic focus are pitching to a selected group of financiers via an online videoconference system.
Ove has programmed and/or produced a number of events like The Greek Documentary Lab, New Platforms - New Politics, Twelve for the Future and lately also EDN’s market activities at European Film Market, Sunny Side of the Doc and MIPDOC. In addition he has collaborated with a number of documentary organisations and festivals with tailor making master classes, seminars and workshops for special events and occasions.
