SARAJEVO, September 1 (FENA) - The third edition of Al Jazeera Balkans International Documentary Film Festival (AJB DOC) is taking place from September 11 to 15 in a customized format. The program that was released today is available on the festival's official website, www.ajbdoc.ba.
AJB DOC has made it possible for the audience in the region to watch all documentaries free of charge on the festival website, without the need to register.
"After two successful editions of the AJB DOC Film Festival, we thought it was essential to maintain continuity and we adapted to the new conditions primarily because of the authors and the audience, which are the reasons for entering the project of organizing a documentary festival here in Sarajevo," said the Director of Al Jazeera Balkans, Tarik Đođić.
Out of almost 300 submitted films, 18 documentaries were selected for the three-selection program, 10 for the competition selection, five for the AJB Screening selection and three for the Last Minute Cinema program.
Among the 18 top-production documentaries, which will be available online at AJB DOC, there are six world, eight regional and four BiH premiere screenings.
An international expert jury of three members will select the best film of the Festival's competition selection and award the "AJB DOC Main Award", as well as the best film of the AJB Screening selection, which will win the award from this category.
All competition films also enter the competition for the Al Jazeera Balkans program jury award, which awards the "AJB Program Award". Due to the specific circumstances of the online holding of this year's festival, which takes place without the presence of spectators, the "Audience Award" unfortunately will not be presented, announced Al Jazeera Balkans.
