Each festival 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 Award – Best Feature Film and Doc Alliance Award – Best Short Film.
The prizes are endowed with 8.000 EUR for the directors, to spend on their new project. Additionally, each of the Doc Alliance festivals has committed to screen at least 3 films of the selection at its upcoming edition.
The winners will be announced on Tuesday, July 13th during the Doc Day Lunch at the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes, as part of Cannes Docs, the Marché’s documentary-focused industry program.
