DOK Preview Germany is an exclusive showcase featuring German feature-length documentaries in the final stages of production. The teams present their projects to international buyers, editors, world sales, festival curators and distributors.

With the project presentation and subsequent opportunity for networking and exchange, we want to support the selected projects on their journey to international distribution and create new working ties.

We are looking for your creative, author-driven, feature-length documentary projects (min. 79 minutes) suitable for theatrical release and festival distribution with an international audience in mind. 

We accept completed documentary films as well as projects nearing completion, aiming for an estimated release date in winter/spring 26/27.

Projects in development or early stages of production are not eligible.

Only productions with a majority of German participation are eligible. We require a BAFA proof for international co-productions. 

The deadline for applications is 3 September 2026.
