On the 31^st of July the largest film event in Kosovo will start – Dok­uFest Inter­na­tional Fest­ival of Doc­u­ment­ary and Short Films. At this fest­ival, the latest Pol­ish doc­u­ment­ary and short films will appear, and they will com­pete for the main prizes in the inter­na­tional com­pet­i­tion programme.

Dok­uFest will take place from 31^st July to 7^th August in a pic­tur­esque city called Prizren, situ­ated on the south of Kosovo. Every year, the fest­ival presents over hun­dred films from around the world, most of which take part in fest­ival com­pet­i­tions. Addi­tion­ally, the par­ti­cipants of Dok­uFest have the oppor­tun­ity to widen their know­ledge about doc­u­ment­ary and short film thanks to work­shops, dis­cus­sion pan­els and lec­tures accom­pa­ny­ing the festival.

Chemo, dir. Paweł Łoziński

Six Weeks, dir. Mar­cin Janos Krawczyk

Little Bride, dir. Lesław Dobrucki

These films will be judged by an inter­na­tional jury, includ­ing: Doug Block (USA), Sonja Hen­rici (Scot­land), AJ Schnack (USA), Adri­atik Kel­mendi (Kosovo) and Pamela Cohn (USA).

Addi­tion­ally, in the Dok­uKids sec­tion, the fre­quently shown and awar­ded at the fest­ivals in Poland and abroad, the anim­ated film “Ester­hazy” by Iza­bela Plu­cińska will be shown.
