DokMa International Film Festival, launched in 2004, is a specialised competitive international film festival that aims to present and promote a documentary filmmaking. The festival endeavours to foster international and inter-regional networking, offering workshops and lectures by invited documentary film makers and other guests. It takes place annually in Maribor at the beginning of November and the films are screened at Kino Partisan, Kino Udarnik Maribor and at the Pekarna Cultural Centre. The festival comprises six sections: Main Programme, Etno DokMa, Documentary Masterpieces (retrospectives), Parallels, Interregional Programme and Especially Slovene. The last two sections are competitive: films screened in the InterRegional programme compete for the Big (features) and Small (shorts) Triangular Shell Award while films screened in the section Especially Slovene compete for the Lotus (shorts) and Golden Lotus (features) Award. Beside the film programme, DokMa also organises workshops, lectures, concerts, and other special events. Due to the funding difficulties the 2010 edition was cancelled.
