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.

You can purchase tickets on cphdox.dk under the individual films in this year’s programme. Tickets for all films and screenings can also be purchased at our festival centre at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

At Cinemateket, Empire Bio, Grand Teatret, Dagmar Bio, and Big Bio Nordhavn, tickets can also be purchased in person – but only for screenings at the respective cinemas.

If you have questions regarding tickets, please fill out our contact form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Once you log in to our website, you can book tickets for our INTER:ACTIVE Symposium or CPH:CONFERENCE sessions and pre-order up to 20 tickets online for regular screenings, events or reserve a slot for the INTER:ACTIVE exhibition.

You can only book one ticket for each event. Bookings overlapping in time are not possible. You will receive your ticket by email and it will automatically be added to the QR code on your accreditation badge.

It is important for us to create a good experience for all festival participants, therefore we ask you to arrive at least five minutes before the event.

If you want to attend a screening that is not sold out, for which you haven’t purchased a ticket in advance, we can issue a ticket for you at the cinema. However, we recommend booking in advance for screenings you don’t want to risk missing.

Should you be unable to reach the venue before the screening starts, we cannot guarantee a seat for you in the cinema – this is also the case even if you have a ticket, as un-checked tickets at the start time can be sold to someone else, and the screening may therefore become sold out. If it is not sold out, but you are late, we cannot guarantee the seat you have booked.

You cannot use your accreditation to order tickets for events in Absalon or DR Koncerthuset.

If you have used all your 20 pre-order tickets, you can still attend regular screenings upon availability by scanning your accreditation at the cinema. 

If you cannot attend a screening you have booked a ticket for, please submit your cancellation request using our refund and cancellation form.

. If you have any trouble logging in with your Eventival account, please use our contact form and we will assist you as quickly as possible.

 

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.

Information about the venue and its facilities, way finding and public transport can be found under the venue section here.

All cinemas participating in CPH:DOX offer a companion policy. This means that a person with a disability who requires assistance can bring a companion free of charge upon presentation of a valid companion card. Companions must be at least 14 years old, as recommended by the Danish Disability Organizations.

If you have purchased a wheelchair-accessible ticket, the companion seat is automatically included.

If you have a disability requiring a companion but do not need a wheelchair, we recommend purchasing two tickets and then submitting the Companion Form to receive a refund for the companion ticket.
