    DocPoint Helsinki and Porto/Post/Doc Join Doc Around Europe as 2025 Guest Festivals

    We are excited to share that DocPoint – Helsinki Documentary Film Festival (Finland) and Porto/Post/Doc – Film & Media Festival (Portugal) have been selected as Guest Festivals for Doc Around Europe in 2025.

    This partnership, supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme, marks an important step in expanding the network’s reach across underrepresented regions of Europe. Both festivals will bring fresh perspectives, innovative programming, and emerging documentary voices to the European stage.

    As Guest Festivals, DocPoint and Porto/Post/Doc will:

    • Participate in the annual Doc Around Europe network meeting at Biografilm Festival 2025, including training on environmental sustainability in festival management.

    • Curate and nominate three films by first- or second-time filmmakers for the Doc Around Europe VoD platform, with license fees provided.

    • Join the Alumni Programme, offering year-round visibility, industry webinars, and networking at Berlinale 2026.

    • Be represented as jury members at member festivals, including Biografilm and Verzió 2025, with future involvement at DOK.fest München, DocsBarcelona, and MakeDox 2026.

    With this collaboration, Doc Around Europe continues to invest in a more diverse, inclusive, and sustainable future for European documentary cinema — supporting both high- and low-capacity audiovisual regions and fostering cross-border industry connections.

    Stay tuned for updates as we follow the exciting developments from this partnership!
