FIDO Fiction & Documentary – International Competition

“The international competition Fiction & Documentary shows smart and powerful films that — using the magic of cinema — explore the world in unusual and expressive ways. From several thousand submissions, we select those live action and documentary shorts that challenge and fascinate us in terms of their form and content. We want to invite our audience to take a first-rate cinephile journey around the world and to discover the present and future of cinema together.” (Doris Bauer, Marija Milovanovic)
