Each of the alliance festivals has chosen one feature-length film and, for the first time this year, one short (up to 30 minutes) by an emerging filmmaker from their most recent lineup, eligible for the Doc Alliance Awards (Best Feature Film, Best Short Film).
The winners will be announced on Tuesday, 13 July during the Doc Day Lunch at the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes, as part of #Cannes Docs#.
