Film Programme

WOMEX Film presents documentaries that portray music, movements and histories from across the world.

WOMEX provides an opportunity for filmmakers, artists, producers and distributors to reach new markets and audiences. It also creates an immersive space for curators, labels and publishers among others to engage with new musical projects and discover alternative programming opportunities. Each year WOMEX facilitates this unique platform strengthening the conversation between the global film and music community.

The programme features new releases, preview screenings and international premieres divided into market and public screenings along with a digital library, which presents an extended selection of films, accessible on demand to WOMEX delegates.

The WOMEX 19 programme will be announced soon.
