Overview of the DOK.fest München @home programme
Opening film: BEHIND THE HEADLINES
Secrecy is the top priority: BEHIND THE HEADLINES by Daniel Sager gives an exciting insight into the hidden world of investigative journalism. We will open DOK.fest München 2021 @home on 5 May with the German premiere of the film.
Homage to Helena Třeštíková
The homage of DOK.fest München 2021 @home is dedicated to the distinguished Czech director Helena Třeštíková, who herself once described her working method as "time-lapse filmmaking". We present nine films from all creative phases.
