CPH:DOX runs from March 11th – 22th 2026, featuring film screenings, events, and a wide range of international guests across Copenhagen.

With DOX:DANMARK, CPH:DOX also offers mini-festivals in municipalities across Denmark, where the audience can enjoy special events featuring new Danish and international documentary films.

From March 20 to April 5, the digital festival takes place on CPH:DOX’s streaming platform PARA:DOX, where a curated selection of this year’s festival films will be showcased.

Events – debates, talks and similar – are held in either Danish or English. The language is specified in the descriptions under each event. Q&A’s with non-Danish filmmakers are held in English.

All films will feature English subtitles and/or dialogue in English without subtitles. We encourage filmmakers to provide English subtitles, even when English is the primary language spoken, in order to make screenings accessible to individuals with hearing impairments.

If you arrive late for a screening, even one for which you have purchased a ticket, you may risk losing your seat. We will try to assist you in getting in, but you may not necessarily get your original seat.

We do not refund tickets after the screening has started. Refund requests must be submitted at least one hour before the screening.

Please submit your request via our refund and cancellation form.

Alongside the festival in Copenhagen, local documentary film festivals are also taking place in more than half of Denmark’s municipalities. Once again this year, DOX:DANMARK is bringing festival films to cinema audiences all over Denmark, offering a specially curated selection of the festival’s films.
