Documentary film

We believe in documentaries. We believe in their power to influence people and inspire them to take action and bring about change.

We have produced over 60 documentary films of varying length and theme, from short people’s profiles for social media and YouTube, through TV and VOD documentary films, up to feature documentaries with theatrical and Virtual Reality Cinema distribution.

At DF Studio aim to provide premium documentary film content, both in terms of storytelling and production values, no matter if it’s destined for YouTube, TV or the big screen.

For our work we have been honored at numerous film festivals and film industry contests both in Poland and abroad.  Among others we have been received four consecutive Winner Awards at Camerimage Film Festival (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) for documentary film (short form).

From there, it continues a journey across different continents, cultures and ideas, in an attempt to discover what Hell really means today.
