DokuFest,
16-24 August - Prizren is showcasing 237 films from 56 countries across 6 competitive sections and more than a dozen specially curated programs.
U.S.A. is country in focus for 2014 and will be presented with nearly 30 films, including screenings of some of landmark documentaries.
Festival is paying tribute to Austrian filmmaker Michael Glawogger who passed away earlier this year by screening all three films from his Globalization trilogy, and at the Austrian experimantal filmmaking scene. Films about music, technology, and recent conflicts in Middle East, environmental issues and human rights. Each year, Dokufest also organises workshops and side projects.
“This year DokuFest is full with films that show us that there is no other art form capable of moving us to tears, bringing us joy, taking us to places of horror and making us to stand and want to change the world we’re living in, all at the same time.” said Veton Nurkollari, Artistic Director of DokuFest. “From the work of emerging filmmakers to the masters of the craft and from first time filmmakers to the returning ones we are delighted to present an outstanding selection of films for this year’s edition.”
