Doc Alliance

Punto de Vista will be the guest festival in 2025 in the European network of festivals Doc Alliance. At the regular Doc Alliance meeting in December 2024, the seven partner festivals (CPH:DOX, Doclisboa, DOK Leipzig, FIDMarseille, Ji.hlava IDFF, Millennium Docs Against Gravity FF and Visions du Réel)  thanked the 2024 guest festival Docudays UA for the fruitful collaboration and welcomed Punto de Vista, the International Documentary Film Festival of Navarra, as their partner for 2025.

As the DA guest festival, Punto de Vista will participate in joint events and meetings at which the network members exchange experiences and ideas regarding topics such as educational practices, supporting emerging talents, XR programming, inclusive programming and sustainability. Furthermore, the festival will nominate one short and one feature-length film for the Doc Alliance Award and co-select this year’s jury.

On 28 February, Punto de Vista will screen the latest Doc Alliance Award winner “The Landscape and the Fury” by Nicole Vögele as part of their festival edition (24 February – 1 March, Pamplona). The festival will also host two Doc Alliance presentations. In a long-term research project, the network has been collecting information about all of the network festivals, focusing on several areas. Two of the research packages are now being presented. On 27 February, FIDMarseille will shine a light on how the festivals support emerging talents and on 28 February, Millennium Docs Against Gravity FF will give an overview of the festivals’ educational practices. A delegation of Doc Alliance representatives will also be part of a programme of professional one-on-ones with Spanish filmmakers.
