KineDok’s online season is back! From October 2025 until March 2026, you can enjoy six thought-provoking documentaries online, completely free of charge. Each film will be accompanied by an international discussion with filmmakers or experts, diving deeper into the themes the films bring to the screen.

All KineDok countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, and Hungary), have curated a line-up of some of the most engaging documentaries from recent years – offering stories that open conversations about politics, identity, society, and history.

To watch the films, simply request a free voucher by writing to [email protected] during the period of availability. They will be accessible for streaming on our website, exclusively within the participating KineDok countries.

The discussions (in English) take place on Mondays at 7 PM (GMT+1) and can be streamed via our YouTube channel (@instituteofdocumentaryfilm7825) or KineDok International’s Facebook page.
