DOK Industry Talk 2025
Documenting Queer Realities: Representation on Screen
In collaboration with Queer Media Society, this panel explored how queer filmmakers use non-fiction cinema to navigate the challenges of visibility, expand narratives beyond victimhood, and experiment with new modes of storytelling. Three filmmakers participating in the DOK Co-Pro Market reflected on their experiences, addressing questions of censorship, challenges in the film industry, and the possibilities of queer imagination in documentary. Together, we asked: how can non-fiction films open up more empowering, complex, and sustainable ways of representing queer lives?
