STLOUIS’DOCS 2026

Each year, the Saint-Louis International Documentary Film Festival celebrates the vitality of contemporary documentary creation in Africa and in Creole-speaking territories. ST LOUIS’DOCS supports freedom of expression, thought, and creation in order to foster and encourage intercultural and social dialogue. It is a space for sharing and discovering documentary works by African filmmakers, as well as by filmmakers from around the world whose films were shot in Africa. The ST LOUIS’DOCS 2026 Festival program will bring together, through screenings and discussions, meet-and-greet cafés, talks, writing residencies, creative workshops, and an international production forum, a demanding selection of around fifty documentary films.
