About DOK Preview International

Spot the most exciting, fresh films seeking gap financing, distribution partners and festival premieres. DOK Leipzig shines a light on one outstanding project from each partner initiative – recognising the catalysing effect of these career-enhancing programmes and industry events. A refresher workshop ahead of the event preps the teams for an inspiring presentation and lively conversation with the moderators Brigid O’Shea and Sofia Tocar.

Each project shows exciting ambition and beautiful cinematic handwriting. We are happy to share the film projects and kickstart their successful release. Get a taste of what is to come in 2025.

DOK Preview International was realised in collaboration with Docs by the Sea, DOCSP Encontro Internacional, Docu Rough Cut Boutique, dok.incubator, EFM Doc Toolbox Programme, ESoDoc, EURODOC, Ex Oriente Film.
