We see documentary film as an art form that uses the means of cinematic aesthetics to negotiate relevant values and invites dialogue on a social, personal and artistic level.

Documentary film is the art of the hour.

Since 2019, DOK.fest München has been the largest documentary film festival in Germany and has become one of the most relevant platforms for documentary film in Europe. Every year in May and throughout the year, we present outstanding documentary films from all over the world.

As a cultural event host, as an employer and as a team, DOK.fest München is committed to the following principles:

Local and global
We live exchange at eye level and across borders, in our films and in conversation with guests and audiences.

History-conscious and future-oriented
Our programme deals with the past, accompanies upheavals in the changing times and casts a glance into the future.

Intergenerational
We offer programmes for audiences of all ages and consciously promote exchange between the generations.

Genderdiverse
We want our films to appeal to all people and reflect the diversity of our society.

Ecologically sustainable
We are committed to the goals of sustainability and work with numerous certified partners.

Fair
Our team is our most important resource. Because we care about the well-being of our employees, we are committed to fair employment and wage policies.

Analogue and digital
The long documentary film is our focus. We celebrate it on the big screen and look for new ways to secure its future.
