Copenhagen International Documentary Festival, also known as CPH:DOX, is an international documentary film festival established in 2003 and held annually in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It was founded as an offspring of NatFilm Festival, a feature film festival held in Copenhagen since 1990. CPH:DOX is today the largest and most prestigious documentary festival in Scandinavia. Its emphasis is on showcasing best documentary achievements, as well as promoting innovative approach to documentary filmmaking which merges various forms of media art with traditional forms of the genre.
