The story

MakeDox Creative Documentary Film Festival in Skopje

MakeDox Creative Documentary Film Festival was founded in 2010 in Skopje to promote creative documentary production and storytelling in North Macedonia. The 2026 edition runs August 20 to 27, paired with the MakeDox Traveling Cinema, which tours six to ten Macedonian villages from June through September, alongside the festival's MakeCoProDox Forum supporting regional documentary co-production.

When MakeDox was founded in 2010, its organizers set out with a specific mission: to promote creative documentary production and storytelling within North Macedonia, a genre distinct from conventional nonfiction filmmaking in its emphasis on artistic approach and narrative craft.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

The main festival focuses specifically on creative documentary, a mode of nonfiction filmmaking that emphasizes storytelling craft over straightforward reportage, giving it a distinct identity in North Macedonia's film festival landscape

The city starts moving

Its MakeCoProDox Forum adds an industry dimension, offering mentorship and exchange to support regional filmmakers developing co-productions
