Symply Supports This Year’s DOK.fest in Munich with MacConsult
Symply is engaging with documentary filmmakers from around the world. In collaboration with its distribution partner MacConsult, we proudly sponsor the 40th DOK.fest, which takes place in Munich from 7th to 25th May.
This year marks the festival’s 40th anniversary, celebrated both in person and online via DOK.fest@home. With over 130 international documentary films featured, the event is one of Europe’s leading platforms for non-fiction filmmaking. Many of the works presented were produced using Symply technologies. Our involvement goes beyond sponsorship, we view it as a way to actively support the creative process.
Robust, reliable storage solutions are seen as essential tools for transforming massive volumes of data into compelling visual narratives. The partnership with MacConsult for the event highlights a broader commitment to the documentary film community and strengthens Symply’s presence in the media and entertainment industry.
Documentary filmmaking is valued not just as a genre, but as a powerful medium that brings clarity to complex issues, fosters dialogue, and connects diverse audiences. A team from MacConsult will be present at DOK.forum—the festival’s key industry hub—between 7th and 11th May. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the latest advancements in data protection, smart storage solutions, and practical approaches to production challenges.
As a provider of high-end data management systems tailored for film, TV, and post-production, Symply supports creative work from the initial concept through to the final cut. Its long-standing partner MacConsult—a full-service IT provider and authorized Apple reseller based in Munich—plays a central role in delivering the technology needed by filmmakers in Germany. The sheer volume of data involved in modern production is immense, now measured in terabytes per shooting day.
MacConsult highlights how Symply’s solutions combine technical precision with creative enablement, allowing filmmakers to focus on their vision while the infrastructure performs reliably in the background. Their strong support and deep expertise make Symply an essential part of today’s production workflows.
For DOK.fest attendees, it’s a chance to see firsthand how storage innovation drives inspiration.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
