ART:CINEMA
CPH:DOX has always insisted that documentary films are art. And what better place to emphasize this than at our art scene, ART:CINEMA at SMK.
SOCIETY:CINEMA
Try to imagine CPH:DOX as a newspaper. With a foreign section, big interviews, and cultural content - and an overview of the most important events in the world right now - combine it with a huge ballroom party and you have our SOCIETY:CINEMA.
SCIENCE:CINEMA
Are you passionate about science, tech, climate, and nature? Then look forward to three days at CPH:DOX dedicated to Science.
