Welcome to the 32nd dokumentART – European Film Festival 2026!
From October 6 to 11, 2026, the 32nd dokumentART invites you to discover European documentary films and engage in conversation with one another. For over 30 years, the festival has been known for its carefully curated programs, powerful cinematic voices, and a personal atmosphere.
The festival will present 70 films across various sections. For the European Competition, a total of 50 films from 21 countries were selected from approximately 1,000 submissions. Organized into ten thematic programs, these films explore identity, memory, community, solidarity, and the big questions of our time.
The festival program includes the European Competition, “Bridging Europe” with films from Germany, Poland, and France, the “YOU” program for young people, the “Entdeckerkino” for children and families, and other film series.
In addition to the film screenings, dokumentART creates space for encounters and exchange—with music, artistic contributions, and events at various locations in Neubrandenburg, including the Latücht Kino, Cinestar, Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences, and Café International.
