Can I view films in the video library?
Access to the DOK Film Market video library is available for professionals from the following fields: TV/VOD buyers and commissioning editors, festival programmers, curators, cultural institutes, funding institutions, distributors and sales agents.
How can I best promote my film and access decision makers attending the festival?
We recommend to get a festival accreditation and prepare your attendance in advance. Find out more about the DOK Industry events and services on our website. There are many networking opportunities, panels and Meet the Experts meeting sessions where experts and industry members are taking part.
We recommend to schedule meetings in advance with the professionals you wish to meet online during the festival. You can check the Industry Guide to research on attending professionals. And if in doubt, book a slot at DOK Industry Helpdesk for more information and advice.
Why is marketing important for my film and what can I do?
Our aim at DOK Industry is to connect you to other industry professionals, encourage knowledge and experience exchange, learn from each other and to create space for inventive distribution and marketing strategies.
We highly recommend to attend and take maximum advantage of the DOK Industry offerings. We hope your presence at the DOK Industry Programme will capitalize the marketing and promotion and thus distribution possibilities for your film and provide an enjoyable experience for you. Every film needs its own marketing and distribution strategy and in this moment of disruption and crisis, experimentation and leaving the beaten path is the only way forward.
What DOK Film Market is not:
DOK Film Market is not a platform with sales stands, a trade show or pitching forum. The films are available exclusively at the DOK Film Market video library for a period of six months starting with the first day of the festival. DOK Film Market offers a film additional publicity, but no sales guarantee.
