The Annual Copenhagen Film Festival aims to bring independent cinema to the foreground while supporting emerging filmmakers from all walks of life. Taking place over 3 days since 2017 in the beloved Husets Biograf, ACFF has become a yearly meeting point for cinephiles, filmmakers and industry professionals. Attracting a young audience of Copenhageners and foreigners, our Festival is sold-out every year. Films run the gamut of genres from fiction films and documentaries to music videos and animated movies. We welcome all filmmakers whether experienced or beginners to show us their artwork and become part of our diverse screening programme. The Annual Copenhagen Film Festival is organised by HFP, a pioneer organisation that runs Film Festivals and other events showcasing and championing ideas of diversity. Through our global series of film Festivals spread over 13 countries, we open the path to voices with a compelling story to share. Our main mission is to honour independent cinema and establish a network of artists eager to join forces and spread their work across all nations. HFP runs 25 film Festivals worldwide.Sfilmmaker is our exclusive platform for cooperation in China, and we look forward to your good film.
