Här är filmerna som tävlar om Stefan Jarl International Documentary Award! Tempos internationella tävling där åtta filmer tävlar om en prissumma på 3 000 euro.

Varje år koras årets bästa svenska dokumentära långfilm. 2025 tävlar åtta filmer i Tempo Documentary Award. Den vinnande regissören får en prissumma och filmteknik till ett värde av 150 000 kronor.

The staged, the faked, the synthetic, the AI-generated, the dramatic, the polished, the entirely made up. In this year's edition of Tempo Documentary Festival we will deep dive in the fictional and explore how different forms of fiction create perspectives on reality and shift the boundaries for documentary storytelling.

A master of balancing the documentary and the fictional is this year's guest of honor, the Slovakian director Péter Kerekes. It's funny, it's ludicrous, it's brutal, terrible and straight to the point.

Tempo Documentary Festival is undergoing a partial leadership change as Ida Thorén has stepped down from her role as festival director. As part of an organizational review, Cecilia Björk will step in as interim festival director until the next edition of the festival.

We will shortly close the Tempo offices for the summer holidays. In the mean time we wish to inform you about some upcoming key dates.
