Kunsthal Charlottenborg

Nyhavn 2, 1051 København K

Directions

Public transport: Kunsthal Charlottenborg, the center of the festival, is located very centrally. Kunsthal Charlottenborg is close to several bus lines and a metro station, making it easy to take public transport to the art hall. You can use the following transport options: Metro: M1, M2, M3, M4 to Kongens Nytorv Metro Station Bus: 23, 26 to Kongens Nytorv

Parking: There are many different parking garages nearby, although none are very close. Therefore, we recommend arriving in another way to avoid the hassle.

Accessibility Guide

[2025 EDITION]

Coming soon.

[2024 EDITION]

CPH:DOX at Charlottenborg this year is designed by Aspekt Studio and Sylvester Struckmann, focusing on three main themes; Inclusivity, sustainability, and the body. Based on ideas from universal design, we, along with Bevica Fonden, have tried to make the setup more inclusive. In this year’s Social Cinema, there are more wheelchair spaces, a hearing loop, various types of seating, acoustic regulation, etc. As something completely new, a projection cube has been set up, where selected AV works are shown from floor to ceiling, and the audience can stand, sit, or lie down during the performance.

Inter:Active exhibition: There are two to three works that are not accessible. However, it is easy to get around, and the remaining works can be easily accessed.

Companion: Of course, CPH:DOX has a companion arrangement, so you can bring a companion for free to your desired screening. If you want a companion seat, just contact tickets@cphdox.dk.

La Base

Once Upon a Time in a Forest

Virpi Suutari / Finland / 2024 / World Premiere / 93 min

+ The Youth Editorial Group: Meditative future journey

Come into Social Cinema and experience a scenic movie in soft sofas, after which you will be guided through a meditative future journey by Frederikke Oldin from Gentænk. With our eyes closed, we will imagine a future sustainably transformed society where anything is possible - a utopia. Here, hope can flourish as we reflect on how we want to live, eat and dwell, and the change that can happen when we think about nature and our relationship with it. Before the film, we serve a free refreshment from To Øl.
Language: Danish

Biodiversity and generation gaps collide in a politically urgent and thoughtful film about two young activists' fight to save the vast Finnish forests. Is it still civil disobedience when you know you have both history and the future on your side?

Invisible People

Alisa Berger / France & Germany / 2024 / World Premiere / 71 min

An atmospheric trip to Japan in an existential and expressive film where the nightmarish butoh dance becomes the prism through which the forces of life express themselves. The hideous and the sublime meet and strange micro-connections emerge.

The Black Garden

Alexis Pazoumian / France & Belgium / 2024 / World Premiere / 80 min

With cinematic brushstrokes and few words, a bleak story is told of three generations living in the shadow of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. A brilliantly orchestrated study in how conflicts recreate themselves.

Ibelin

Benjamin Ree / Norway / 2024 / 104 min

+ The Youth Editorial Group: SygtStærk with Sofie Riise Nors

CPH:DOX's Youth Editorial invites you to a screening of the film 'Ibelin', followed by a conversation with two young panelists who both live a youthful life with physical disabilities and chronic illness moderated by Danish illustrator and host of the podcast SygtStærk, Sofie Riise Nors. Together they will give an insight into their everyday lives, thoughts and perspectives on life with physical limitations. In continuation of the film's theme, they will also shed light on the role digital communities can play for young people who, for various reasons, cannot participate in physical spaces on an equal footing with most people - and finally, there will be an opportunity for questions from the audience. Before the film, we serve a free refreshment from To Øl.
Language: Danish
