all we have is our stories

DOTS aspires to be a vibrant meeting point for the art of documentary and storytelling. A festival that goes beyond cinema — embracing humanity’s ever-evolving need to make sense of the world through stories.

Our core aim is to provide space and voice to emerging creators — to showcase their work and connect them with a broader audience and the international scene. At the same time, DOTS aims to engage audiences with the power of documentary and creative storytelling — offering a platform where real stories spark reflection, dialogue, and new ways of seeing the world.
