Doker Moscow Russia
In a break of the Danish television 3 hour long coverage of the re-election of President Putin – instead of falling asleep – I checked facebook and saw that the organisers of the independent documentary festival in Moscow had chosen the opening film, Polish Marta Prus ”Over the Limit”, for festival that runs April 12-17. A fine choice of course – the film is excellent and the characters are Russian.
I have since the first edition of the festival been a fan of what Irina Shatalova and Nastia Tarasova, and their team, have set up. This is the fourth edition and it includes a main competition of feature docs, a short film competition, docs for kids, masterclasses, discussions.
Other films in the main competition are ”A Woman Captured” by Hungarian Bernadett Tuza-Ritter (shown these days at CPH:DOX and is the opening film on friday 23rd at DocuDays in Kiev), the touching Dutch film ”Alicia” by Maasja Ooms, the equally moving Belorussian film about women in prison, ”Debut” by Anastasiya Miroshnichenko and French Emmanuel Gras Congo-film ”Makala”. 14 films are shown in the main competition.
High quality, a focus on how people live around the world.
