The fourth edition of the Brugger Dokumentarfilmtage will take place from the 16th to the 19th of September 2027. The film festival was launched in 2021 and since then the city of Brugg shines a spotlight on the genre of documentary filmmaking every two years. Filmscreenings take place in both of the Brugg cinemas ODEON and Excelsior, as well as in the Salzhaus and the Zimemermannhaus. Every edition, the festival invites filmmakers from all over the world to be present at the numerous premieres and discussion rounds which take place at the different projection venues. With an elaborate supporting programme, made up of concerts, film discussions, exhibitions and panels the festival is a celebration of documentary film.
Since 2023, the Brugger Dokumentarfilmtage is hosting a short-film competition for young documentary filmmakers. The competition aims to give young filmmakers and their films a platform to be seen by a broad audience and is intended to create a stepping stone on the journey to professional filmmaking.
