CPH:PIX

CPH PIX is an annual film festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The festival resulted from the merger in 2008 of the Copenhagen International Film Festival and the NatFilm Festival to create an organisation called Copenhagen Film Festivals, which also manages the documentary film festival CPH:DOX and the BUSTER Film Festival for children and youth.

The first CPH PIX Film Festival was held in April 2009 and it had an audience of 36,500 people, which was the largest audience ever recorded for a film festival in Copenhagen. Since the first edition, the festival has grown to have an audience of more than 55,000.

The festival provides both student and senior discounts for all standard showings throughout the event.

In 2016 the festival merged with BUSTER Film Festival for Children and Youth to become one big festival for all ages. At the same time the festival was moved from the April to October/November.
