Festival Network Doc Around Europe – United for a strong European documentary film
Initiated by DOK.fest München in 2020, the new network Doc Around Europe (formerly: FestDocsEurope) brings together five relevant documentary film festivals throughout the continent.
The common goal is to promote and circulate European documentary films and experts and to accompany them at all stages of production and in all aspects of distribution, promotion and presentation.
