KineDok has announced its 2026/2027 collection, unveiling a slate of 18 documentary titles, including three VR works, that will circulate across its transnational screening network from May 2026 through April 2027. The programme will be available to venues in Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Romania, continuing the initiative’s long-running effort to connect contemporary documentary cinema with audiences outside conventional theatrical circuits.
Organised by the Institute of Documentary Film, KineDok has built its identity around community-based exhibition, placing films not only in cinemas but also in cafés, galleries, cultural centres and other informal spaces. In practice, that means documentaries are screened in environments where conversation and local engagement are central to the experience. This latest selection continues that model while presenting a broad mix of politically urgent titles, intimate personal stories and festival-recognised works.
Among the headline films in the 2026/2027 collection are Mr. Nobody Against Putin by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin, a documentary centred on life in Russia during the ongoing war against Ukraine, and Amber Fares’ Coexistence, My Ass!, which follows Palestinian-Israeli comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi as she confronts the contradictions of «coexistence» discourse through performance. Also featured is Lisa Polster’s Bürglkopf (Out of Sight), set around a tightly controlled asylum centre in Tyrol, and Igor Bezinović’s Fiume o Morte!, which revisits Gabriele D’Annunzio’s occupation of Rijeka and the historical roots of fascism through archival material and irony.
The programme also leans into auteur-driven and festival-acclaimed work. Better Go Mad in the Wild by Miro Remo, which won at Karlovy Vary, joins the collection alongside What About Petey?, Martin Trabalík’s intimate portrait of a family navigating autism, and Death of Death by Dāvis Sīmanis, an essayistic reflection on mortality and the contemporary desire for immortality. Other titles include Tooth and Nail, a Romanian documentary about illegal logging and activist resistance, and CALIU: Nothing else, what else can I do?, focused on the celebrated Romanian violinist’s later life.
This year’s selection also expands KineDok’s VR offer with Wildlife in Europe, Emperor and Out of Nowhere. Together, the three projects push the programme further into immersive territory, offering audiences a different kind of documentary encounter while broadening the initiative’s formal range.
KineDok manager Juliana Moska, who has recently stepped into the role, said she was encouraged by the project’s growth in both screening venues and the number of screenings. She also pointed to the strength of the inherited programme and the organisation’s ambition to keep expanding access through non-cinema spaces.
