#DocSafe is a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering a safer, more accountable, and inclusive global documentary industry.
In October 2024, DocSafe curated a series of roundtables at DOK Leipzig, building on discussions from the Durban FilmMart earlier that year. These sessions explored five core themes—Cultural Safety, Political Safety, Sexual Harassment, Abuse of Power, and Accountability and Restorative Justice—with Curatorial Justice as a cross-cutting concern.
A report available for download below summarises the key insights and developments from those conversations, offering a foundation for continued dialogue, advocacy, and collaborative action across the documentary field.
