DocPoint is the largest documentary film festival in the Nordic countries. In Finland, it is the only one dedicated solely to documentary films. Every year, the festival offers both a national and an international selection of the best brand new movies, celebrated classics, and a special selection of documentary films for children. In addition, a wide range of seminars, lectures and a Masterclass is organised.

The Aho & Soldan Award for lifetime achievements is given yearly at the DocPoint festival to a remarkable Finnish film maker. The award is named after Heikki Aho and Björn Soldan, who were pioneers of Finnish documentary film.
