DOK Industry is the professional platform of DOK Leipzig, designed to support documentary projects in development with international potential. Each year it gathers producers, directors, financiers and distributors in a space dedicated to networking and coproduction.
The call is open to creative, author-driven and innovative documentaries that are in development or early postproduction. International projects are welcome, except for the Preview Germany program, which is reserved for projects based in Germany.
There are several entry points: the Co-Pro Market, focused on international coproduction; Short n’ Sweet, for short documentaries; Archive Market, dedicated to archive-based projects; and Neuland, highlighting XR, VR and AR storytelling. Producers may also attend without a project to strengthen professional connections.
English is the working language, and the main goal is to link artistically ambitious projects with the European and international audiovisual industry.

Izaña Lab is designed by a team that faces the challenge of filmmaking daily, who understands that a film is the result of continuous trial and error processes. The entire process is, in reality, a laboratory, where the experiment is tested, analyzed and repeated. Each film is a prototype, and although we dream of replicating success stories, reality shows us that the way to position a product as unique as a cinematographic creation in the market requires inventing new formulas that fit each case.
