Punto de Vista, guest festival in 2025 in the European network of festivals Doc Alliance
Seven of Europe's most prestigious documentary festivals form the network and Punto de Vista becomes its third guest festival
The festival network Doc Alliance is happy to reveal this year’s guest festival. 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.
The Doc Alliance network of documentary film festivals supports emerging talents in European documentary film. Each of the seven members as well as the guest festival select one short and one feature-length documentary film to compete for the Doc Alliance Award.
The shortlisted films for the 2025 Doc Alliance Award will be announced in early May. The winners will be presented at Cannes Docs (Marché du Film, 13 – 21 May).
The network cordially invites European documentary film festivals to apply as guest festival 2026. Application forms can be found on the Doc Alliance website.
