CPH:FORUM is an international funding and co-production forum that is part of the CPH:DOX festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The call is open to projects from around the world, with a focus on Scandinavia and Europe. It mainly accepts documentary and creative projects, including works that explore the intersection of fiction and non-fiction, auteur documentaries, investigative filmmaking, visual art, and science-related projects.
The forum features different industry areas, such as pitching to financiers and co-producers, and the CPH:ROUGHCUT section for projects in post-production seeking distribution. There are also training and collaboration programs for project development, although these have specific application requirements.
It accepts feature films and series of 52 minutes or longer, as well as complementary formats like short films or non-linear pieces within larger projects. The CPH:FORUM 2026 application opens on September 3, 2025, and closes on November 5, 2025. The event will take place from March 16 to 19, 2026.
