Docs on the Spot

The association of documentary festivals picks the best documentaries of the year, nominating them for the Doc Alliance Awards

Doc Alliance, which brings together seven major European documentary film festivals, has unveiled its shortlisted nominees for the 2022 Doc Alliance Awards. Every year, the programmers and artistic directors of all seven festivals nominate one short film and one feature-length film. A jury of leading European journalists and film professionals then select the winning films in both categories from the list of nominated films.
