Who are we?

DocPoint IMPACT is organised by DocPoint Film Events which aims at creating visibility, appreciation and new audiences for creative documentary films. The DocPoint society wants to strengthen the distribution of documentary films and their role in public discussion.

The society works on principles of high quality and work ethics, internationality, strengthening of civil society and impact of its events. It also pledges to be a good employer on a field of culture.
