As largest German documentary film festival, and important platform for international industry professionals, DOK Leipzig offers you many opportunities to appear as sponsor in both segments - DOK Festival and DOK Industry. In 2008, DOK Leipzig had almost 27,000 festival visitors and over 1,400 international professionals, visiting industry events that took place in four cinemas and other venues in the centre of Leipzig. Film prizes with an overall value of 58,500 Euro were awarded at the end of the festival, and extensive feedback in TV, radio, online and the print media secured DOK Leipzig and all its supporters recognition and popularity at domestic as well as international level.

Every year, the festival enjoys great audience enthusiasm and increasing visitor numbers due to its competition sections, exciting film programmes, comprehensive retrospectives and homages. DOK Industry serves as a meeting point for international industry representatives. Forums, co-production meetings, the DOK Market and other special industry events establish and consolidate networking opportunities, provide new impulses for world-wide collaboration, and bring international creative people and decision makers to Leipzig. To counter-balance extensive film programmes and the numerous forums, the festival offers controversial discussion rounds on current topics, carefully selected special events, popular lounges, thrilling parties and many other things. DOK Leipzig owes its popularity to its top-class film selection, its enthusiastic visitors, international industry professionals – and its committed sponsors, partners and supporters, who help making all of this possible.

Make the most of it and present yourself on our web site, on A0 and A1 posters, street banners, in programmes and catalogues, on lanyards, T-shirts, bags and VIP-vehicles. During festival week you could be host of individual events, donate a prize for selected films, present a specific film programme exclusively, or place your own promotion. Ideally we would like to talk to you personally, in order to make sure we implement everything according to your needs and requirements. To fulfil the objectives of your company and the needs of your industry, we gladly provide you with a customised offer.
