Blok tematyczny:

The opening of the 21st European Film Festival for Documentaries dokumentART will, as is tradition, take place in the studio of Polish Television and will be broadcast live on TVP Szczecin. This year the official opening will present a new formula. It will be constructed of the official part (a short discussion about the state of contemporary cinema with the invited guests, speeches from the festival's directors, sponsors, and partners, and a presentation of the programme). Then the screening of the newest documentary productions. This year we will present the Polish premiere of the worldwide-awarded picture “Poster Girl” by Sara Nesson. We will celebrate the beginning of film Autumn in Szczecin in a casual atmosphere during a concert at Liquid Hall. The ceremony in TVP Szczecin will be compared by Michał Chaciński, artistic director of the Gdynia Film Festival and renowned film critic.
