The submission for the 39th DOK.fest München (1 to 12 May 2024 @cinemas, 6 to 20 May @home) is open!
We are looking for stirring, moving, curious, impressive and relevant documentary films. From now on, filmmakers, producers, distributors and composers are invited to submit their latest films for the various programme sections of DOK.fest München.
With our third dual edition, we will continue to combine the best of both worlds into a dual festival experience in 2024: We will stick to our additional digital offering and present the festival films not only on the big screen in the cinema, but also again on the digital screen in your home.
