The slogan of the K-DOCS FESTIVAL 2026 is "Creative Reconstruction in Documentary," reflecting today's evolving documentary landscape, where traditional approaches to documenting reality coexist with new forms of storytelling driven by technologies such as AI and VR.

This year's festival poster captures this transformation through illustration, visualizing both the changing structure of the documentary industry and the global reach of Korean documentaries fostered through K-DOCS' pitching platform. Its bold, textured style embodies the idea of “creative reconstruction," while the key color palette—blue for the future, brown for representation, and red for creativity—reinforces the festival's vision.

As K-DOCS FESTIVAL continues to connect creators, ideas, and opportunities across borders, this year's poster symbolizes the festival's commitment to expanding the future of documentary filmmaking. It invites audiences and industry professionals alike to imagine new possibilities for the documentary form and the growing global presence of Korean documentaries.
