Calls for projects

ZagrebDox is an international documentary film festival held annually in Zagreb, Croatia. Launched in 2005, the festival aims to offer audiences and experts an overview of recent documentary films, to stimulate domestic documentary production and to encourage international and regional cooperation in co-productions. ZagrebDox is a specialist festival showcasing the best creative documentary films, whose imaginative form and choice of subject matter make it unique in Croatia and Europe.

The festival programme includes a competition programme, an official programme, retrospective programmes and special thematic programmes. Only films released after 1 January 2025 can take part in the competition programme. Participation in the competition section of ZagrebDox requires a first screening in Croatia (the screening must be a Croatian premiere). For the other official programmes, priority will also be given to films that have not been screened in Croatia. 

The rules and conditions of submission, as well as the submission form, are available on the festival website. Deadlines for entries : 

• 15 October 2025 for films released after January 2025
• 15 December 2025 for films in post-production 

(Please note that films in post-production must be completed by January 2026 at the latest).
