DOCUDAYS UA-2015 announces a competition

10 March 2015

This year a competition program will go under the motto “Don’t miss a single screening!”. This year festival team has gathered films at the best world’s documentary films forums.

 

Bound by ethic norms we can’t play favorites with the participants and recommend insistently any of them. However, we can promise 38 important and striking films that change the world for the better! Besides, this year we will finally make our old dream come true and will conduct reruns of the competition program. Now Docudays UA will start at 10 a.m. and will finish with the last metro train.

 

Traditionally, the audience will choose their winner, so we invite everybody to vote actively for the Audience Award. In one word, our advice is: take a leave for the festival week and get e residence permit in the House of Cinema, Cinema Kyiv and Kinopanorama! You have a real feast  for cinephile ahead.
