The film programme of the 40th DOK.fest München: In the cinema. At home.

DOK.fest München stays dual!

Our aim is to make our films as accessible as possible, which is why we are bringing them to the big screen in Munich cinemas and venues - and for the first time also in selected cinemas and venues in Augsburg - as well as to home screens barrier-free throughout Germany.

Furthermore, there are some films that are shown exclusively in cinemas - please note the filter option: Only in cinemas.
Use the @home available filter option to access the films that you can watch from the comfort of your own home from 12 to 25 May.
