The festival network Doc Alliance has chosen Punto de Vista as its guest festival for 2025.
“As the Doc Alliance guest festival, Punto de Vista will participate in joint events and meetings at which the network members exchange experiences and ideas regarding topics such as educational practices, supporting emerging talents, XR programming, inclusive programming and sustainability,” Doc Alliance writes.
The Doc Alliance network of documentary film festivals supports emerging talents in European documentary film. Each of the seven members (CPH:DOX, Doclisboa, DOK Leipzig, FIDMarseille, Ji.hlava IDFF, Millennium Docs Against Gravity FF and Visions du Réel) as well as the guest festival, select one short and one feature-length documentary film to compete for the Doc Alliance Award.
The shortlisted films for the 2025 Doc Alliance Award will be announced in early May. The winners will be presented at Cannes Docs (Marché du Film, 13-21 May).
On 28 February, Punto de Vista will screen the latest Doc Alliance Award winner, The Landscape and the Furyby Nicole Vögele, as part of their festival edition (24 February – 1 March, Pamplona).
The festival will also host two Doc Alliance presentations. In a long-term research project, the network has been collating information about all of the network festivals across a number of diverse areas. On 27 February, FIDMarseille will shine a light on how the festivals support emerging talents. On 28 February, Millennium Docs Against Gravity FF will give an overview of the festivals’ educational practices. A delegation of Doc Alliance representatives will also be part of a programme of professional one-on-ones with Spanish filmmakers.
Punto de Vista is “an annual event featuring the latest trends in the field of documentary film.” Since the Festival’s first edition in 2005, it has been inspired by Jean Vigo’s cinema and ethical principles. Promoted by the Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism of the Government of Navarra, and organised by NICDO, the festival is hosted in the city of Pamplona every year.
