DOKUart Bjelovar in Bjelovar

DOKUart is an international documentary film festival launched in 2006 in Bjelovar, running seven days each October with films from Croatia, the EU and neighboring countries. Over two decades it has screened 280 films from 30 countries and includes DOKUworkshop, a student program producing a new documentary annually.

DOKUart launched in 2006 as a festival of professional documentary film in Bjelovar, a mid-sized city in continental Croatia not otherwise known as a film-festival hub, and has since built a program spanning films from Croatia, the European Union and neighboring states.
