Founded in 1951, the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) is one of the world’s leading film festivals and a key space for politically engaged, formally adventurous cinema. Alongside its major competition, Berlinale has long played a vital role in shaping documentary and experimental film through sections such as Forum, Forum Expanded, and Panorama, where hybrid forms, essayistic approaches, and socially urgent works regularly find a platform.
This collection brings together films from the DAFilms catalogue that have been presented at the Berlinale over the years, reflecting the festival’s ongoing commitment to cinema that challenges conventions and responds critically to the world around us.
DAFilms.com is powered by Doc Alliance, a creative partnership of 7 key European documentary film festivals. Our aim is to advance the documentary genre, support its diversity and promote quality creative documentary films.
