About the festival

DOK Leipzig is an annual festival for documentaries and animations that celebrates film and promotes debate. The festival focuses on the values of peace, tolerance, human dignity and freedom of expression, along with a strong, individual artistic signature of the filmmakers.

Documentary and animated films in six different competitions, premieres and young talent, unique special programmes  and interactive works, all find a place at DOK Leipzig. 

In 2020, DOK Leipzig takes place as a hybrid event, with film screenings in Leipzig and online. The industry platform DOK Industry moves completely online.
