DOKer was created 9 years ago to bring wonderful independent documentary films from all over the world to the Russian audience and provide a discussion platform for authors, experts and spectators.

The principles of DOKer are:
- When we say 'documentary film' we put the emphasis on ‘film'.
- There are countless ways to make a documentary but we believe it has to be dramatic and interesting.
- Image and sound are as important for docs as they are for fiction films. The film language is universal, and we use it to tell our stories.

We welcome two categories of films: films about children/childhoods and films made by children (up to 18 years old).

We are interested in the films that provide us with the insight into children's lives and various childhood experiences.

This is the 2nd edition of the festival. More info about the first edition can be found at http://anthrochildrenyouth.wix.com/childrenfirst
