MIX COPENHAGEN LGBTQIA+ Film Festival started in 1986 and is now the leading LGBTQIA+ film festival in the Nordics.

We show the best in contemporary LGBTQ+ cinema that push and challenge societal notions and conceptions of gender and sexuality. Our focus is not only to bring the best queer cinema to Copenhagen, but also to provide a platform for community.
