Anasy Doc­u­ment­ary Awards, that is, an event pro­mot­ing and hon­our­ing only doc­u­ment­ary films, will take place from 25 April till 9 May in Abu Dahbi. Three Pol­ish doc­u­ment­ar­ies have been qual­i­fied to the competition.

Anasy Doc­u­ment­ary Awards is one of the largest film events in the Arabic world, spe­cial­iz­ing in doc­u­ment­ary cinema. The festival’s aim is not only pro­mot­ing the doc­u­ment­ary as a valu­able film genre with artistic qual­it­ies, but also award­ing this kind of films. That is why Anasy Doc­u­ment­ary Awards offers a wide range of awards – apart from the first and most import­ant laurels, the films can com­pete for the best screen­play award, the best pho­to­graphy awards, the best film about chil­dren, or for the film with a spe­cial mes­sage. The total of award money amounts to 1, 5 mil­lion dirhamas (approx­im­ately 275.000 euro).

Dur­ing this year’s edi­tion, which will take place from 25 April to 9 May, three Pol­ish doc­u­ment­ary films will com­pete. “Chemo” by Paweł Łoziński and “Gold­fish” by Tomasz Wol­ski will take part in the main com­pet­i­tion, while “Kites” by Beata Dzi­anow­icz has been nom­in­ated to the com­pet­i­tion ded­ic­ated to child’s rights.
