World Documentary Film Festival 2026: Cinema, Discussion, and Global Perspectives in Augsburg

The WORLD Documentary Film Festival 2026 brings socially relevant documentary films and engaged people together in Augsburg. Central questions go far beyond the cinema screen: Who owns the city? How does social-ecological transformation succeed? Where are the limits of growth and how can global justice be shaped?

Documentary film as a starting point for dialogue

The festival atmosphere of the WORLD arises where moving images immediately lead to exchange. After the film screenings, a space opens for discourse on questions, impressions, and new perspectives. Invited guests from science, film, and politics deepen the topics and provide the audience with expert insights.

Social issues on the big screen

The festival focuses on social-ecological transformation, the crisis of democracy, global justice, and the future of urban spaces. The selected documentary films combine journalistic research, artistic imagery, and social responsibility. Thus, a trip to the cinema becomes a collective reflection on the present and the future.

A festival for exchange and networking

The WORLD sees itself as a participatory documentary film festival. Local initiatives, organizations, and engaged groups are given space to present their ideas, make contacts, and make action possibilities visible. Music, regional cuisine, and conversations complement the film program and create a versatile cultural experience.

Organized by a broad Augsburg alliance

The WORLD is organized by Attac Augsburg in cooperation with the Eco-Social Project, Solidarity Agriculture Augsburg, Augsburg in Citizens' Hands, and the Tree Alliance Augsburg. The festival is supported by further civil society partners from Augsburg. Since 2020, the WORLD stands for open access, global justice, and sustainable development.

Conclusion: Experience documentary film, share perspectives

On September 29, 2026, the audience in Augsburg can expect a documentary film evening with strong social impulses, expert discussions, and an engaged festival community. Admission is free. Those who experience cinema as a place for insight, discussion, and collective action will find new images and ideas for their own urban community at the WORLD.
