“This year’s selection was among the strongest in our history, with an outstanding lineup of films from five continents. The sheer quality of submissions made the selection process incredibly difficult, and I regret that we couldn’t accommodate every deserving film in our workshop”, says Andrea Prenghyová, the CEO of dok.incubator.

The well-established rough-cut training will bring teams of eight film projects to work together with international editors, producers, and sales representatives. For the upcoming eight months, their goal is to sharpen each film’s cut, shape its dramaturgy, and create a marketing strategy, preparing the films for a festival premiere in late 2025 or 2026.
