ABOUT
DOKer grew out of screenings of author-driven documentary cinema, and since 2011 has explored every facet of nonfiction filmmaking — from poetic observation to hard-hitting social stories, from newsreel footage to arthouse and popular science.
Year Founded
entries annually from every continent
jury categories — directing, cinematography, and sound & editing are judged separately
We screen films about real people from every corner of the world — stories that break down stereotypes and let you see the world through someone else's eyes.
