Official Selection

The selection for
XIV International Documentary Film Festival HumanDOC

The International Festival of Documentary Films HumanDOC has grown upon the basis of HumanDoc Foundation’s activity.

Our mission is to widen the society’s awareness of global topics and to encourage the economy, information and democratic development of the society. Our guiding idea is to expand the knowledge of the world around us, as only by knowing more we can take real actions.

We would like to invite all authors, producers and distributors to share your work with our audience and us.

We await documentary films that show problems of Global South widely and on many levels. We are specifically interested in all productions arising in years 2020-2025, but we do not stick tight to our rules.

You can apply by filling this simple submission form.
