The 2026 Doc Alliance Award Nominees
Again eight long and eight short documentaries are in the run for this year’s Doc Alliance Award. Discover all 16 films here
With the award, the Doc Alliance network honours emerging talents in European documentary film. Each of the seven member festivals and the 2026 guest partner Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival chose one feature and one short film from their own programme.
It’s now up to the jury members Wouter Jansen, Maria Palacios Cruz and Mark Peranson to decide about the winners. The winners will receive 5,000 EUR for Best Feature and 3,000 EUR for Best Short to spend on their future creative projects.
We eagerly look forward to the award ceremony on 16 May in Cannes — during the Doc Day Lunch at the Marché du Film!
