Doc.World is a global network of documentary film festivals with annual editions in Berlin, Boston, London, Paris, Sydney, and Ghent.

​

The network combines a central international team with local festival crews in each city, creating festivals that share the same vision while remaining closely connected to their local audiences and cultural landscape.

​

We celebrate documentary cinema in all its forms—from observational and investigative works to essay films, poetic documentaries, animated documentaries, and hybrid productions that challenge traditional boundaries. We are particularly interested in films that offer fresh perspectives, artistic ambition, and a distinctive voice.

​

In a world where reality is increasingly shaped by competing narratives, documentary cinema remains one of the most powerful ways to explore, question, and understand our society. Through our festivals, we aim to present outstanding independent documentaries, support emerging filmmakers, and encourage dialogue between cultures and communities across the globe.

​

Different cities. Different audiences. One shared passion for documentary cinema.
