Dear interested people, dear friends, dear documentary filmmakers!

We look back on an intensive, lively and discussion-rich 21st edition of the documentary film week hamburg. We would like to thank all our guests, contributors, partners, friends and visitors for this wonderful week. We had more visitors than ever before, which makes us very happy. The gathering for documentary film in Hamburg, watching, discussing and talking together benefited from the multi-perspectivity, complexity, diversity, ambivalence and also contradictions that need to be negotiated when dealing with the documentary film form.

We are therefore looking forward to the next edition of the documentary film week hamburg with confidence and anticipation. After a short recovery phase, we are already starting to prepare for next year’s festival, which (save the date!) will take place from 22-27 April 2025.

Use the time until then to rummage through the last 20 editions of the dokumentarfilmwoche hamburg in our archive, revive memories, draw lines and references or discover new things in the old.
And here you can sign up for our newsletter, then you won’t miss anything.

See you very soon,
your documentary film week hamburg
