Docaviv reveals full 2020 lineup; adds new competition 'Beyond the Screen'

The 22nd #Docaviv documentary festival has announced 115 films for its 2020 hybrid edition running 3 – 12 September. Films will feature online as well as in drive-in screenings across Tel Aviv. With the festival’s Israeli Competition already announced, now it has released its complete documentary programme.

This year’s programme also includes a new award category, Beyond the Screen, showcasing films whose directors or subjects work to change our social reality. There will also be a range of industry events, including one-on-one sessions, DocLabTLV, the annual student pitching competition; and a distribution meetup.
