DOKLeipzig Panorama
In the festival world, at least at the big festivals like the one in Leipzig, the Panorama section always includes high quality international documentaries that either have been at other festivals, in competition, and therefore do not qualifym or did not make it in the final selection for the competition programme. Other criteria are possible. Anyway, looking at this year’s programme in Leipzig, there are wonderful films to watch for the Leipzig doc fans and the visitors to the festival.
You can read about some of them on this site: ”A Blooming Business” (Holland), ”Burma Vj” (Denmark), ”Disco and Atomic War” (Estonia), ”Cash and Marry” (Croatia/Macedonia/Austria), ”Gaza Hospital” (Italy), ”Osadne” (Slovakia), ”See You at the Eiffel Tower” (Bulgaria). Again films from Eastern Europe are strongly represented.
Photo from ”Cash and Marry” that the festival rejected last year. Bravo, that a mistake is recognized by the programmers.
