• This is a non-competitive festival. On the basis of feedback, we have created ‘Special Space’. Film-makers are welcome to share their work here. Advance requests will help us to plan, avoid overlaps / disappointment and circulate the information.

• Each film screening will be followed by an intensive session that focuses on the form and art rather than the content.

• Film-maker evenings are the opportunity to hear and share the common travails of documentary film-makers around the world.
