The wait is over.

 

We are delighted to present the Official Festival Program of DokuBaku International Documentary Film Festival 2026, celebrating our 10th Anniversary under the theme:

 

STELLAR CIVILIZATION 

Baku, Azerbaijan
5–11 October 2026

 

For ten years, DokuBaku has been creating a space where documentary cinema becomes a journey — a way to look beyond the visible, question what we know, and explore our place within the larger human and cosmic story.

This year, STELLAR CIVILIZATION invites us to rethink humanity’s place in the Universe: not as its center or master, but as a conscious, responsible and interconnected particle within a vast cosmic system.

 

 Across seven festival days, discover a constellation of documentary films, filmmakers, conversations, special programs, screenings and encounters from Azerbaijan and around the world.

From intimate human stories to questions about society, nature, technology, consciousness and our collective future — these films invite us to look both outward into the cosmos and inward into ourselves.

 

 The 10th DokuBaku is ready to begin.
