Doc at Work – Future Campus returns in its 2025 edition to serve as an observational outpost on the future of international documentary filmmaking: submissions are open until July 11st, 2025, for films directed by young male and female directors from European film schools. The selection of films, the general program and the calendar of screenings are the exclusive responsibility of the Festival artistic direction. The Official Selection will be announced starting from September 15th, 2025.

Doc at Work - Future Campus is looking for films that speak new languages, that explore new ways of telling the real through the eyes of the next generation of documentary filmmakers/and that are being formed; the aim is to introduce our audience to these new talents, but also to create new networks and connections as much between the young filmmakers/and the documentary film professionals present at the Festival.

In addition to the program of films produced by European film schools during the past year, Doc at Work - Future Campus will also host meetings, workshops and masterclasses with filmmakers and documentary film professionals.

The 2025 edition of Doc at Work - Future Campus will take place in Florence during the 66th edition of the Festival dei Popoli (November 3 - 9, 2025).
