The film programme of DOK.fest München. At the cinema. At home.

3 to 14 May 2023 at the Munich venues
8 to 21 May 2023 @home

As always, DOK.fest München opens the view out to the world: with 130 of the best and most current international documentaries from 55 countries. Our goal is the greatest possible participation in our films, which is why we bring them to the big screen in Munich cinemas as well as to home screens throughout Germany: DOK.fest stays dual.

Please enter the festival edition you would like to find out more about a film in the year field.

A DOG CALLED MONEY (Ireland, United Kingdom 2019, Seamus Murphy, DOK.panorama). In search of inspiration for her new album, the musician, PJ Harvey, travels to Afghanistan, Kosovo and Washington D.C. She gathers impressions, voices, sounds and images – and transforms them into music. A poetic symbiosis of text, image and sound.

ASTOR PIAZZOLLA – THE YEARS OF THE SHARK (Argentina, France 2018, Daniel Rosenfeld, DOK.panorama). A rebel, charmer and exceptional artist. In the 1950s, the Argentinian musician, Astor Piazzolla, created the Tango Nuevo – much to the irritation of his critics. His son, Daniel, allows us access to the extensive family archive for the first time. A dazzling film full of love for rhythm and melody.

ROCKABUL (Afghanistan, Australia, Denmark 2018, Travis Beard, DOK.panorama). Heavy metal in Kabul? "District Unknown" was the first and only heavy metal band in Afghanistan, its members - young protagonists of a new beginning, the music - a liberation blow. "The Rise and Fall of ..." quite different.

WOODSTOCK (Germany, United States 2019, Barak Goodman, DOK.panorama). Woodstock was the pinnacle of the hippie era. Half a million people danced to the bands of the moment in peace and in the pouring rain. WOODSTOCK tells its story through archive material and the many voices of those who worked for the festival back then and catapults us through space and time right into the heart of summer 1969.
