05 March 2021

Holding our breath, we finally announce the DOCU/WORLD International Competition. Ten films are going to compete. These documentaries explore solitude, complex family stories, and surrealistic reality as well as the fight with own demons, corruption, and everyday life captured by war.

Including various stages of selection, this team in sum amounted to 14 people. Our debates were hot and continuous, yet as result, we came up with the program of broad geography, thematic diversity, and world premieres.”
