The Moscow International Documentary Film Festival DOKer focuses on independent documentary cinema, including poetic narratives as well as social blockbusters; film chronicles and mockumentaries; arthouse and science fiction; classics and experiments.
Festival organizers believe that films about real characters from around the world can break down old stereotypes and bring together people with polar mindsets. Finely told documentaries can help find ways to understand another culture and create common ground when realities collide.
DOKer invites the public to view the world through the eyes of documentary filmmakers from dozens of countries and share universal emotions, reflections and aspirations.
