MIX COPENHAGEN LGBTQ+ Film Festival

MIX COPENHAGEN LGBTQ+ Film Festival started in 1986 and is now Denmark’s oldest recurring and ever-active film festival, as well as one of the world’s oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals. We are a volunteer association run by passionate LGBTQ+ movie lovers who use their spare time to make MIX COPENHAGEN a spectacular event not only for the LGBTQ+ community, but also for all the Copenhageners and far beyond the city limits. Our goal is to show a palette of movies that bend gender and break sexual boundaries, affect the gender debate and reflect a diverse world. During the year and at the festival we host a wide variety of events related to film and LGBTQ+ themes, such as: - Panel debates - Q&As - Workshops + Masterclasses - Pitching competion - Premieres - Open Air screenings Last year MIX COPENHAGEN launched a new series of events under the umbrella Industry Weekend. Our goal is to be a resource for local talent and boost queer independent cinema. As the biggest and oldest queer film festival in the Nordics, MIX COPENHAGEN is also aspiring to become a gathering point for industry professionals, where local filmmakers can meet international professionals representing different queer film organizations, festivals, distributors and producers. MIX COPENHAGEN has been an event that has kept bringing together the queer community of Copenhagen for the last 35 years. An achievement we are proud of. Our main focus has been to not only bring to Copenhagen the best queer cinema has to offer, but also to create spaces that cater to the needs of the local community. This will forever stay our main goal. We believe, we can make the festival stronger and thus more beneficial to the local community and queer film industry by creating relevant industry events that would make MIX a prominent actor on the queer film festival circuit. This year the festival takes place from 22nd October to 31st October where there will be a number of screenings in both The Cinematheque and Empire Bio in Copenhagen, as well as our online festival MIX @ Home the following weeks.
