The 11th Documentary Film Festival will hold the Slovenian premiere of Man on Wire by James Marsh, which a few weeks ago received the Academy Award for Best Documentary! As the Slovenian distributor of Man on Wire, Cankarjev dom will release the film in various theatres (Kosovel Hall  CD, Kinodvor Cinema) on 14 April.

The second film to be released in Slovenian cinemas after the Festival is Elle s'appelle Sabine, the maiden directorial achievement by celebrated French actress Sandrine Bonnaire.

 This year, the DFF has introduced a competitive section. Six films addressing human rights issues will compete for the award presented by Amnesty International Slovenia, the festival partner. The three-member international jury is comprised of:

Sabina Živec, Vice-chair of Amnesty International Slovenia

Maciej Nowicki, Director of Watch Docs from Warsaw

Marko Popović, Director and founder of the Slobodna Zona Festival from Belgrade
