Over eleven days, IberoDocs 2026 will bring audiences together through a vibrant programme of documentary screenings, filmmaker conversations and community events across Edinburgh, Oban, Aberfeldy and Dundee.

Alongside our main film programme, audiences can participate in Q&A sessions with filmmakers and special guests, events and community conversations that encourage dialogue around the festival’s central theme, Tides of Resistance: The Families We Make. These events create spaces for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences and connecting across cultures and generations.

The festival also includes free activities designed to engage students, emerging filmmakers and cultural professionals, fostering learning, collaboration and international exchange.

IberoDocs 2026 celebrates documentary cinema as a catalyst for empathy, critical reflection and community-building, inviting audiences to imagine more connected, caring and sustainable futures together.

The full festival programme, including screening schedules, special events and guest announcements, will be officially launched on 23 August 2026.
