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.

NON-ALIGNED: SCENES FROM THE LABUDOVIĆ REELS (Croatia, France, Montenegro, Qatar, Serbia 2022, Mila Turajlić, DOK.international Main Competition). The non-aligned movement seen through Tito’s cameraman’s lens.
