The film programme of the 39th DOK.fest München: In the cinema. At home.

1 to 12 May 2024 at the Munich venues
6 to 20 May 2024 @home

Like every year, DOK.fest München 2024 opens up a view of the world: with 109 of the best and most current international documentaries from 51 countries. Our aim is to ensure the greatest possible participation in our films, which is why we bring them to the big screen in Munich cinemas and cultural venues as well as to home screens throughout Germany as barrier-free as possible: DOK.fest München stays dual!

The advance ticket sales start on Monday, 22 April. The accreditation has opened.
