DOK.aroundtheclock – year-round events

After the festival is before the festival – and in the middle of the documentary year. Every season, DOK.aroundtheclock presents current documentary highlights in our Munich partner cinemas and on site at our cultural partners.

You can also watch selected festival highlights online in our new online film library dok@home.

With the exception of the all DOK.education events, all events of DOK.aroundtheclock and the content on dok@home are approved for audiences aged 18 and over.
