Call for Projects: DOK Preview Germany

DOK Preview Germany is a launch pad for works‑in‑progress German documentary films seeking world premiere and international distribution opportunities. The call invites feature‑length documentary projects (minimum 79 minutes) that are completed or nearing completion, with an estimated release date in winter/spring 2026/27. Projects must have a majority of German participation and provide BAFA proof for international co‑productions. Only two team members per project are allowed to attend. The event, part of DOK Industry, takes place on 26 October 2026 in Leipzig’s city centre and will feature a live project presentation followed by a networking cocktail. An online workshop precedes the event to prepare selected teams. Participation is free; the event offers presentation, networking, an online workshop, and support for international distribution. Applications are accepted via the myDOK platform until 3 September 2026, with guidelines and an online submission form available on the DOK Leipzig website.
