We announce the program of the short films Showcase

For the sixth time, we are selecting films that show that documentary cinema does not have to fit into a single form or tell stories in an obvious way. This is exactly what we love about them: they can afford to do more – to experiment with form, combine documentary with animation, video art and other techniques, search for their own language, and tell stories that are difficult to accommodate within the traditional frameworks of documentary cinema. We are particularly happy to showcase the work of female directors who are just starting out on their filmmaking journeys: students, debut filmmakers and creators taking their first steps in the industry.

We have selected 16 films. We warmly invite you to the screenings during HER Docs Film Festival, taking place 1–6 October, followed by Q&As with the filmmakers!
