28th Documentary Film Festival – DFF

The program has been announced, tickets are on sale!

Festival sections 
Competition

Human rights films addressing some of the most critical issues of our world, from environmental concerns, the rights of workers and minorities to religious fundamentalism. The section also serves as an appeal to present-day mass media which tend to disregard numerous important and meaningful stories due to their ostensible lack of newsworthiness. 
The Best Human Rights Film Award is presented by Amnesty International Slovenia.

Current, Socio-critical 
Documentaries in many ways relating to (and complementing) the competition section, but mostly – also because of their larger budget – bringing bigger stories that enjoy more media exposure.

Intimate and Global Portraits 
As suggested by the title, these are small-scale, carefully woven stories concerning either an individual or a particular place and time.

Myths, Icons, Media 
In featuring films about innovative individuals, social phenomena, media interests and as yet unexplored stories, the section brings to light some of today’s or recent history’s most prominent aspects.
