DocumentaMadrid will be held 04 to 10 May 2020 in Madrid, Spain. DocumentaMadrid is an international documentary film festival and is committed to promoting and disseminating non-fiction films that reflect the reality of society, culture, economy, art, environment and technology in the world. It also provides a way seeing an accurate depiction of the turbulent times we're living in, from different points of view. The main event is the Official Section, with feature-length and short films competing for various awards, which will reaffirm them as the cream of the crop from around the world. The festival also puts the spotlight on homegrown productions, offering the public a selection of the most outstanding documentaries of the year. This, the Panorama of Spanish Documentary Film section, comprises feature-length and short films. What’s more, audiences can enjoy a retrospective and parallel film seasons in conjunction with Filmoteca Española, talks, masterclasses and appearances by some of the leading directors on the current international scene, transforming Madrid into the documentary capital for eleven action-packed days of the finest cinematography, with Cineteca as the epicentre.
