About

DOK Preview Germany is an exclusive showcase featuring German feature-length documentaries in the final stages of production. The teams present their projects to international buyers, editors, world sales, festival curators and distributors.

Meet inspiring creatives and dive into diverse topics and unique filmmaking styles presented by experienced moderators Zeynep Güzel and Tanja Georgieva-Waldhauer. The film teams will give you a sneak peek into their new works to enrich your slates, slots and festivals.

With the project presentation and subsequent opportunity for networking and exchange, we want to support the selected projects on their journey to international distribution and create new working ties.
