The national documentary film festival LETsDOK 2024 is already underway in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, and Thüringen. In Berlin, the first film will be shown on Saturday, 14th September. This is the fifth year in which the festival has taken place.
LETsDOK 2024 stands in the tradition of equal rights and democracy. Real voices, true stories, lives that are lived — that’s what you can expect at this year’s documentary film festival. Experience emotional high points and deep-reaching narratives that inspire and touch. DIVERSE TOGETHER! Be there and let yourself be carried away by the authentic stories.
LETsDOK 2024 will be showing over 300 documentary films in different cinemas throughout Germany, including in Berlin. Unlike feature films, documentaries offer an unadulterated insight into reality and tell authentic stories from people, who embody courage, determination, and passion. These films show the diversity of human life and inspire you to look beyond your own horizon.
The diversity of films, subjects and perspectives is reflected in the wealth of offers by local initiatives. National coordinator Petra Hoffmann said: “With our choice of content, this year we are once more putting a clear focus on the subjects of the promotion of democracy, diversity, and against antisemitism and racism.”
Together with many other organisations and partners, LETsDOK2024 brings documentary films to villages, gardens, churches, synagogues, stations, mills, barns, monasteries, closed down shops, and even to a circus tent – places where cinema original came from, and to places where it “hurts”.
Experience the art of documentary films in unique locations and let yourself be touched by their authenticity and depths. Follow us on instagram and facebook, so you do not miss any event or venue. LETsDOK’s non-profit organisation docfilm42 aims at making independent documentary films more visible.
