Documentary film competiton

As many as 13 films will be competing for the Golden Horn and Silver Horns in the International Competition, which opens the way to the European Film Awards and Oscars. Ecological catastrophe, discrimination, exploitation, dangerous artists, spies – and war in the background. Filmmakers capture a reality that offers little comfort, yet as documentaries that make us of archival footage remind us, the past, too, has been fraught with unrest and terror. Confronting difficult subjects enables a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern our world – and prompts profound reflection on life itself, which may offer a glimmer of solace.
