Doc Alliance

Doc Alliance is the result of a long-term creative partnership of seven key European documentary film festivals. Our aim is to advance the art of documentary film, support its diversity and continuously promote creative documentary films. The Doc Alliance festivals are: CPH:DOX Doclisboa DOK Leipzig FIDMarseille Ji.hlava IDFF Millennium Docs Against Gravity Visions du Réel With joint forces the Doc Alliance festivals created DAFilms.com, a VOD platform to makes you discover 4,000+ outstanding documentary and experimental films. DAFilms presents a continually-updated, curated selection of the finest auteur-driven documentary cinema from the world of film festivals. In 2008, the seven festival partners introduced the annual Doc Alliance Award competition honoring feature-length films by emerging European filmmakers. A second award category for short films was added in 2021. The Doc Alliance Award competition is an important support system for new talents to continue on their film career, both helping bolster their position as artists seeking financial support for upcoming films and in helping their work reach new audiences at home and abroad. Each festival annually nominates one feature-length and one short film from its pro- gramme for the prizes. The winners are decided by an independent jury. From 2023, the network will expand its circle and annually invite a guest festival to also nominate candidates for the Doc Alliance Awards and host the award ceremony. This year, we welcome Dokufest in Prizren as our guest partner!
