Plan your Visit
We’re back in the cinemas, with as much on-site programming as possible amid Covid-19 precautions. From 25 to 31 October, we will be thrilled to welcome you to a week of inspiring film moments and encounters with filmmakers in our Leipzig partner cinemas.
After the festival week, we will switch to the DOK Stream format to present selected festival films on demand throughout Germany for two weeks, from 1 to 14 November.
The complete programme will be revealed on 7 October on our website.
Online ticket sales for the cinema screenings and the DOK Stream has already started via our film programme. The DOK box offices will open daily during the festival week at our festival centre at the Museum of fine Arts Leipzig (MdbK) and in our partner cinemas.
