DOK.fest München Friends

Promoting film culture and experiencing it together

The documentary film tells of people and their life stories in an equally empathetic and cinematic way – up close, authentic and as an art form as relevant and diverse as never before.

Every year in May, the DOK.fest München presents the latest and most important documentary films from all over the world at attractive venues in the centre of Munich.

Within the last few years, DOK.fest München has developed into one of the largest film festivals in Europe. Reason enough to give documentary film a strong lobby with the DOK.fest München Circle of Friends. Become a member and thus part of the festival!
