CAMERIMAGE - FEATURE DOCUMENTARY FILMS COMPETITION

    For this year's Documentary Films Competition 'Image of the World - World in Images', under the patronage of Discovery Networks Central Europe organized as a part of the Documentary Films Section of the Plus Camerimage Festival, we received over 530 entries from 79 countries from six continents. That is 150 more than last year!

    This year, for the first time, entries to the Documentary Films Competition, were accepted for two separate time categories: short and feature. During the festival an international jury, separate for each category, will decide on the winners of Grand Prix - the Golden Frog.
