2020Short Competition
Competition Program Note
For 19 years, the Competition program has always been one of the main programs of Festival Film Dokumenter. Competition aims to exhibit films that capture actual issues around us and provide critical perspectives. The issues presented critically are certainly not independent of the forms and styles of creative documentary storytelling.
Festival Film Dokumenter Competition Program does not limit its attention to a single documentary theme, type, or shape. Therefore, the composition of this program is enriched by different perspectives, manners of storytelling, and approaches. For the second time, this year’s edition of FFD will celebrate four categories: International Feature-length Documentary, Indonesian Feature-length Documentary, Short Documentary, and Student Documentary.
309 films were received during the period of submission from May to August. We sincerely appreciate this enthusiasm, and as it has been our annual tradition, we will announce the winner of each of the categories at the Awarding Night and Closing Ceremony of Festival Film Dokumenter 2020.
