Ad Hoc: Inconvenient Films

About

Documentary films and films from the fringes of this genre, pertaining to broadly conceived human rights issues, may be submitted to the Festival. There are no limitations to country of production.

The Festival selects films for one international competition and a number of thematic non-competitive sections, retrospectives and special screenings. Films are selected by Festival’s selection committee. When selecting films, the committee concentrates equally on both artistic quality and human rights content.
