Where factual storytelling meets digital transformation

 

DCampus is a unique new European initiative by Documentary Campus, a leading European provider of training for documentary and factual filmmakers. The D in DCampus stands for both Documentary and Digital, bringing together the traditional broadcast-led industry and the digital industry through a high-level training and events programme. We offer a rich mix of carefully curated content to help media professionals and emerging filmmaking talent get to grips with the digital shift.

DCampus Exchange will take place on 8-9 May 2026 at DOK.forum, the industry platform @DOK.fest Munich, which is the largest documentary film festival in Germany. It will focus on digital transformation in factual storytelling to highlight the emerging trends on the European audiovisual landscape, enabling traditional and digital factual producers, creative storytellers and brands to work effectively together. 

The Exchange will include expertly curated panel sessions and case studies designed to deliver clearly and concisely the latest insights and opinions on various key aspects of the digital shift in the screen-based sectors. Everything vital to understand now for working in the digital non-fiction space will be covered, ranging from formats to monetisation, from IP to outreach, from alternative funding to distribution strategies. We bring together leading experts to exchange perspectives on emerging trends, latest research and best practice.
