DOKer was created 4 years ago to bring wonderful independent documentary films from all over the world to the Russian audience and provide a discussion platform for authors, experts and spectators.
The principles of DOKer are:
- When we say 'documentary film' we put the emphasis on ‘film'.
- There are countless ways to make a documentary but we believe it has to be dramatic and interesting.
- Image and sound are as important for docs as they are for fiction films. The film language is universal, and we use it to tell our stories.
DOKer has already seen 6 seasons in 6 major cities located in central Russia (Moscow, Yaroslavl, Saint Petersburg), Ural (Yekaterinburg), Caucasus (Vladikavkaz) and Siberia (Krasnoyarsk).
We have had more than 300 screenings for over 30,000 viewers.
- A version of the film with English subtitles, exception to be made for English spoken films.
- Short and feature length documentaries can compete, with the following projection formats: Blu-ray, Files (mp4 H264 – bitrate 30mbps).
- DOKer seeks theatrical style documentaries. We tend towards new films that have received minimal exposure in Russia.
- Our programming favors feature length films, although we do have a short competitive section.
