DOK.aroundtheclock – year-round events

After the festival is before the festival – and in the middle of the documentary film year. Every season, DOK.aroundtheclock presents current documentary highlights in our Munich partner cinemas and as guests of our numerous other cultural partners.

Since November 2022 you can enjoy festival highlights online at Dok @home Selection in our new online film library directly on the festival homepage.

With the exception of the workshops for children and young people (DOK.education), all events of DOK.aroundtheclock are approved for audiences aged 18 and over.
