EVENTS – DOC DAY

Here we are with our newest initiative called DOC DAY!

Through our collaboration with the FILMCLUB and other local partners, we bring high-quality documentaries to Bolzano onto the big screen.

Our first edition entails 6 films shown at the most prestigious film festivals worldwide and, through DOC DAY, will become accessible to the South Tyrolean audience.

Our monthly screenings start in October 2023 and end in March 2024 and will include Q&As with the makers and discussions on and off stage, sometimes with the director or author, sometimes with experts on the subject matter covered in the film. All DOC DAY films deal with important topics of our time. Accordingly, the film evenings take place in cooperation with local partners such as Ökoinstitut Südtirol / Alto-Adige, Foto-Forum, ARCI, or initiatives such as Female Views and Film-Frauen-Roundtable.

The events will all take place at the FILMCLUB BOLZANO | Via Dr. Josef Streiter 8/D 12/10

FOURTH DOC DAY DATE: January 11, 2023

DOC DAY presents POLISH PRAYERS by Hanka Nobis

As a traditional Catholic in Poland, 22-year-old Antek holds deeply conservative views. But when he falls in love for the first time, he begins to have doubts – first about the prohibition of premarital sex and finally about the existence of God. The 22-year-old Antek is destined to become the religious leader of the ultra-conservative Polish Brotherhood. The Brotherhood organises counter-demonstrations to LGBTQI+ events and meets for masculinity rituals in the forest. But when Antek is about to be promoted, he begins to question the moral principles he has spent years fighting for. Over the course of four years, filmmaker Hanka Nobis accompanies the charismatic and sensitive young man, who identifies less and less with traditional values. In exchange with a constantly changing circle of friends, Antek develops his own opinion on what it means to be a good person.

THIRD DOC DAY DATE: December 21, 2023

DOC DAY presents INNOCENCE by Guy Davidi

INNOCENCE tackles the issue of militarization and its impact on the lives of young Israeli people who are forced to serve against their own identity and values. Through a narration based on the haunting diaries of soldiers who died in uniform and the rare home video they left behind, the film depicts their inner turmoil. Interweaved together with first-hand training videos and unique filmed life moments; the film shows how children and young people are being tracked and pressured step by step from early childhood into military enrolment and away from their parents. INNOCENCE warns of the social and personal costs of increasing global militarization.

SECOND DOC DAY DATE: November 16, 2023

DOC DAY presents LE SPECTRE DE BOKO HARAM by Cyrielle Raingou

„Since 2014, the terrorist organisation Boko Haram has led strikes against the villages and people of the Far North Region of Cameroon. Today, this constant threat of violence has woven itself into daily existence. In her profoundly affecting debut feature, Cyrielle Raingou follows a group of children as they carve out their own worlds amid the dangers of armed conflict. We meet the precocious Falta, studious and hardworking, eager to process her father’s death in a terrorist attack. Her classmate, Ibrahim, and his older brother Mohamad, struggle with balancing their boyhood energy and a traumatic past that strays them from their eight and 11-year-old innocence. Raingou, a native of the Far North Region herself, approaches her young subjects with a delicate and unobtrusive observance, allowing them to dictate the reality of their surroundings through their own words, movements and perspectives. The result is a distinct and profound study of the contrasts of a war zone: hope and despair, innocence and terrorism, the present and future, western influence and traditional culture. As the children prepare for school, gunshots ring out in the distance. In the schoolyard, amidst soccer games and jump rope, military servicemen patrol the edges of the frame. But Raingou holds on to the laughter and innocence of the children’s play, which stretches far above war’s reach.“ – Fiona Armour

FIRST DOC DAY DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2023

DOC DAY presents PARADISE by Alexander Abaturov

In the summer of 2021, an exceptional heatwave and drought led to giant fires that ravaged 19 million hectares of land in northeastern Siberia. In this region, at the heart of the taiga lies the village of Shologon, soon to be blanketed by a thick cloud of smoke. Spread by the wind, the black ashes carry alarming news: the forest is on fire, and the flames are fast approaching. The government, having left them to fend for themselves, the inhabitants must rally to fight The Dragon.

Mit dem Bozner Filmfestival startet für viele die alljährliche Drehsaison. Bevor alle wieder auf diversen Filmsets verschwinden, laden wir Euch herzlich ein gemeinsam Filme zu sehen, Erfahrungen auszutauschen und ein Jahr voller Projekte tanzend zu beginnen.

Im Rahmen des Festivals zeigen wir beim FAS SCREENING am Freitag Abend 15 | 04 | 2016 zwei sehr unterschiedliche aber ähnlich mutige Filme und nehmen dies zum Anlass, einen Blick auf die lebendige Filmszene in Südtirol zu werfen.

Gleich im Anschluss ergibt sich auf der FAS FILM PARTY genug Gelegenheit auf alte und neue Freundschaften anzustoßen und auf der Tanzfläche die letzte Winterstarre abzuschütteln.

Con il Festival di Bolzano comincia per tanti il periodo annuale di lavoro sui set. Prima che tutti si dileguino, volevamo invitarvi a vedere insieme dei film, a condividere le vostre e nostre esperienze e a lanciare un nuovo anno ricco di progetti stimolanti per tutti.

Durante il festival ci sarà venerdì sera il 15 | 04 | 2016 uno SCREENING FAS che prevede due film molto diversi tra loro ma molto ambiziosi, offrendo l’occasione per gettare uno sguardo su quello che la scena cinematografica locale realizza.

A seguire ci sarà la FAS FILM PARTY, grazie alla quale avremo la possibilità di rinsaldare vecchie e nuove amicizie e lasciarci alle spalle la stagione invernale.
