Over the past few days, the Doc.Berlin once again hosted its annual event at the historic Babylon cinema in Berlin. The festival was happy to welcome a number of artists: Aino Kontinen, Silvia Sarsano, Joël van As, Henrike Meyer and many more.
Kris De Meester, festival director, looks back: “This year’s edition was, again, an amazing experience. The turnout was overwhelming. It was also a privilege to meet so many talented filmmakers.” He adds, “I would like to thank the team under super vision by Roxane Pochet for their professionalism and support, it wouldn't have been possible without their dedication.”
Cherrypicked out of more than 2000 submissions, this year's official selection included 29 wonderful films hailing from France, Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Philippines, Canada, Finland, Armenia, Estonia, and Germany.
We are pleased to share with you the 2024 Doc.Berlin award winners, chosen by the jury panel.
