Dock Of The Bay 2016 - 9th edition

9th to 16th January - Principal Theater & Trueba Cinemas

Dock of the Bay - the Donostia music documentary film festival - is the first film festival in the annual calendar of events of this type in Spain. Now with eight editions behind it, Dock of the Bay has carved out a place as one of the landmarks in the genre in Europe. It is also a festival with great cultural weight in the city of San Sebastián and, above all, it sets out to be a place for meeting, presenting and exhibiting the world of music documentary film.

Started by a group of film and music enthusiasts, Dock of the Bay was born in the year 2007 as a film season. In subsequent editions the festival grew organically: a competition section was added, parallel activities were launched and the number of days and venues for showings was increased. Today Dock of the Bay has over 10,000 viewers, more than 25 new titles a year and a schedule of eight days packed with activities.

The 2016 edition represents a further step forward. As well as increasing the number of titles, we have new venues and times of showings, there are more parallel activities, we are releasing new publications and we are getting involved in thought and criticism with a theoretical seminar about the documentary form.

Once again, see you at the cinema.
