LA RASSEGNA
The DOC DAY Screenings take place at Filmclub Bolzano and are accompanied by Q&As and discussions – sometimes with directors or crew members, other times with experts on the films’ subject matter. In addition, we occasionally host film talks or masterclasses on the following day. All selected films address pressing issues of our time.

For every DOC DAY screening, we collaborate with a local organisation. Past partners have included Ökoinstitut Südtirol / Alto Adige, Foto-Forum, ARCI, Forum Prävention, Lungomare, SAAV, as well as initiatives like Female Views and our own FILM FRAUEN roundtable.

DOC DAY editions #1, #2, #3 have been curated by Emanuele Vernillo.

THE EDITIONS
We are currently in our edition #3, starting in October 2025 and continuing until March 2026. This season our programm includes 9 documentaries from all over the world and our loyal audience can look forward to award-winning films from Sundance, IDFA, CPH:DOX, and Visions du Réel, as well as the Neustadt Trilogy by Thomas Heise, who passed away in May – a key figure of German documentary cinema and perhaps the most significant chronicler of East German and post-reunification realities.

DOC DAY edition #3

We open on October 9 2025 with SONGS OF SLOW BURNING EARTH by Ukrainian director Olha Zhurba. The film premiered at the Venice Biennale in 2024 and has since screened at major international documentary festivals. A remarkable work: aesthetically haunting, it renders the horror of Russia’s war against Ukraine emotionally tangible – without showing a single battle. A film not to be missed.
In November we continue with two screenings. On November 12, in collaboration with the festival ANALOGICA, we present TRAINS by *Maciej J. Drygas. Composed entirely of analog found footage, the work won both the International Competition Award and the Best Editing Prize at IDFA. An intense audiovisual journey that takes us by train through the upheavals of the 20th century.

On November 20 follows VALENTINA E I MUOSTRI by Francesca Scalisi, with cinematography by FAS member Stefania Bona. The film tells the tender story of a young woman’s emancipation in Niscemi, Sicily – a town marked by the US Navy’s MUOS satellite communications system and recurring wildfires. Among its awards are the Special Jury Award in Nyon and the FIPRESCI Award in Leipzig.

On December 11 we close the first half of DOC DAY with ALWAYS by Deming Chen. With his debut film, the Chinese director won the Grand Prize at CPH:DOX and the Best Editing Award in Barcelona. A coming-of-age story full of poetry – both in form and content.

In January 2026, attention turns to the Neustadt Trilogy by Thomas Heise. Between 1992 and 2007, Heise followed the people of Halle-Neustadt, once a socialist model city that after reunification became a symbol of decline. Together, the three films form an unflinching yet deeply human chronicle of Germany’s transformation after 1989 – a work about the fragility of hope in times of upheaval and the roots of social divisions that still resonate today.

On February 19 we present 9-MONTH CONTRACT by Georgian filmmaker Ketevan Vashagashvili. Since its world premiere at CPH:DOX, where it received the Human Rights Award, the film has screened worldwide at festivals including Hot Docs, Sarajevo, Barcelona, and Munich. It tells the story of Zhana, a young mother who becomes a surrogate out of financial necessity – until the consequences become unbearable.

Finally, on March 19, we close the program with SEEDS by Brittany Shayne, winner of the U.S. Competition at Sundance 2025. Her film portrays Black farmers in the American South who, in the face of systemic inequality, fight for their very existence – a moving and politically urgent work.

DOC DAY DATE Nr.6 : MARCH 24, 2025

KIX by Dávid Mikulán & Bálint Révész

The time has come – our 6th Doc Day is just around the corner! As we reflect on five intense and successful events showcasing our diverse film selection, we are excited to announce the final film in this edition – KIX and our guest, internationally acclaimed editor Yaël Bitton. 

KIX is a wide-ranging odyssey spanning 12 years of boyhood following a boy from Budapest as he evolves from a rowdy little kid to a rebel in adulthood.
Sanyi and his best friend live out their childhood on the streets, escaping the oppressive atmosphere at home. This is how Sanyi meets the two filmmakers, Dávid and Bálint, whose attention finally makes him feel visible. The essence of this unlikely friendship lies in joint creation and filming, a dynamic that evolves over the years as Sanyi’s school and family problems surface. Through both charming and unsettling street scenes, we bear witness to the swift passage of a fast-paced childhood culminating in an increasingly disillusioned adolescence. The two filmmakers will no longer be active participants; instead, they become observers of Sanyi’s fever dream-like life.
Upon the birth of his newborn sister, Timi, thirteen-year-old Sanyi is thrust into the role of a surrogate father. Bearing this heavy responsibility, he tends to her needs for prolonged stretches at times as his mother engages in arduous and demanding labour. Facing his failure at school, the imminent threat of family separation and the escalating toxicity from his father, he seeks solace among kindred spirits and a newfound girlfriend. Striving to elude the grasp of authorities by taking matters into his own hands, just as hope begins to glimmer, Sanyi faces a cruel tragedy compelling him to confront the heavy responsibility of adulthood..

SYNOPSIS:
“When I look at Rome, I see my mother. It’s been the case ever since she died.”
It’s a summer evening from many years ago: the city is empty, and the final of the soccer world championship
is under way. A woman, Teresa, reaches the Tiber and lets herself go into the river. The abyss swallows her while Virginia, her daughter, travels through Rome in the dark of the night: she wants to find her and save her. Virginia must cross the depths of the waters, of history, the myths, the vital brightness and the disasters of a timeless Rome. Only then can she see her mother again, surfacing from the blackness of the Tiber, flying towards Amor, “the planet of care”. Surrounded by water, its streets, squares, and fountains are reminiscent of those of Rome with animals roaming freely.

SYNOPSIS:
For her latest documentary Favoriten, Ruth Beckermann spent three years following a class of pupils, from the ages of seven to ten, and their devoted teacher at a large, ‘at risk’ primary school in an ethnically diverse, traditionally working-class district in Vienna. We get to know the children as individuals as we experience their daily adventures, struggles, defeats and victories in this microcosm of contemporary western European society: a society struggling with issues of identity and migration. But above all, Favoriten is an ode to childhood and education that builds on Beckermann’s trademark style of asking probing, important questions in an observational way, inviting the audience to navigate their own way through complex topic.

We are very glad to be able to present the third film of our second DOC DAY edition, “1489” in the presence of the director Shoghakat Vardanyan herself. This is a unique opportunity to connect with a courageous filmmaker! In collaboration with the Free University of Bolzano and CLS Consorzio Lavoratori Studenti, we not only invited the director Shoghakat Vardanyan to Bolzano but also enriched the screening with a great accompanying program.

Roberto Farneti, Emanuela Fronza, Daniela Giannetti and Emanuele Vernillo will engage film director Shoghakat Vardanyan on her feature documentary 1489, where she filmed her parents and herself through the search of her younger brother Soghomon, a 21-year old musician, who had disappeared in the front line of the Artsakh (Nagorno- Karabakh) conflict in 2020. The film intersects the private sphere of family life with the dramatic public event of a brutal conflict.”

The DOC DAY edition 2024/2025 is supported by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen-South Tyrol 🙏.

“1489” is Winner of “Best Feature-Length Documentary” and the FIPRESCI Prize at IDFA 2023!

SYNOPSIS:
When soldiers are killed, they often end up as anonymous numbers in news reports. But behind every number there is a person who leaves behind heartbroken family members. The title 1489 refers to the anonymous number of a “body of an individual missing in action.” It was the number assigned to Soghomon Vardanyan, a 21-year-old student and musician who was close to completing his mandatory military service when the conflict between Azerbaijan and his home country Armenia over Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) flared up again in September 2020. On the seventh day of the war, Soghomon goes missing. Using her phone camera, his sister Shoghakat decides to film her and her parents’ search and their emotional process. After six months, bones are found, but DNA research is needed to show whether the remains are actually those of Soghomon, and the family will have to wait a year and a half for the results. All the while, Shoghakat continues to film, even in the most intimate and vulnerable moments, which sometimes makes for an uncomfortable viewing experience. But at the same time, it makes the intense sadness and loss of a human being of flesh and blood all the more tangible.—IDFA

SECOND DOC DAY DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2024

OMI NOBU by Carlos Yuri Ceuninck

On November 21, we are back with the second film of our DOC DAY series, OMI NOBU, a visually stunning experience on the big cinema screen. We look forward to your presence, together with our partners for the evening – the Ökoinstitut Südtirol/Alto Adige.

OMI NOBU explores Man’s intimate relationship with Time; the contrast between the frozen time of an abandoned village and that of man confronts us with our own mortal condition. Quirino’s story is also a confrontation between tradition and modernity, between Man’s attachment to the Earth and his relationship with Nature.
The story takes place on the island of Sao Nicolau in Cabo Verde, in Ribeira Funda, a small village located at the bottom of a deep valley surrounded by high mountains and a rough ocean. Its inhabitants have experienced such a series of disastrous events that frightening superstitions have led them to flee the village to escape the forces of evil. Everyone left the village to settle in the nearby Estância de Brás. All except one. One man remained: Quirino.
For over thirty years, 77-year-old Quirino has been the sole inhabitant of Ribeira Funda, the ghost village. He has survived for decades by fishing and growing vegetables. He spends his days contemplating the ocean and the majestic mountains that surround his home. His only company is a rooster, a few sparrows and a battery-powered portable radio, which hums with news from the rest of the world. But in the twilight of his life, Quirino, faced with an uncertain future and the harassing weight of isolation, illness and old age, resolves to leave the only place he has ever known.

OMI NOBU takes us on a journey through the days and nights of the past, present and future of a village, a land and a man, and, in fine, meditates on our ontological relationship with the finitude of time and space.

FIRST DOC DAY DATE Edition 2024/2025: OCTOBER 10, 2024

THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES by Asmae El Moudir

We are very happy to announce the inaugural film of our new DOC DAY Programme! Kicking off the 2024/2025 edition is the critically acclaimed documentary “The Mother of All Lies,” directed by the talented Asmae El Moudir. This remarkable film has graced the screens of all the major international film festivals, garnering widespread recognition and numerous prestigious awards along the way. Notably, it claimed the highly coveted “Directing Prize Un Certain Regard” and “The Golden Eye Documentary Prize” at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, solidifying its place as a standout work. In addition to its accolades, the hybrid documentary was Morocco’s Official Entry for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
We are eager to share this powerful film with you and inspire meaningful discussions around its themes and artistry. Join us for an unforgettable evening of cinema as we celebrate the art of documentary filmmaking and the voices that challenge our perceptions. Our partner for this evening is Female Views.

SHORT SYNOPSIS
Young Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir wants to know why she only has one photograph from her childhood and why the girl in the picture isn’t even her. She decides to explore the past and its mysteries by creating a handmade replica of the Casablanca neighbourhood where she grew up. There, she begins to interrogate the tales her mother, father and grandmother tell about their home and their country. Slowly, she starts to unravel the layers of deception and intentional forgetting that have shaped her life. The truth is hardto face, but in this sometimes surreal nonfiction film, El Moudir begins to draw what is real to the surface.

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.

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.

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

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.

THIRD DOC DAY DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2024

1489 by Shoghakat Vardanyan

We are very glad to be able to present the third film of our second DOC DAY edition, “1489” in the presence of the director Shoghakat Vardanyan herself. This is a unique opportunity to connect with a courageous filmmaker! In collaboration with the Free University of Bolzano and CLS Consorzio Lavoratori Studenti, we not only invited the director Shoghakat Vardanyan to Bolzano but also enriched the screening with a great accompanying program. This will kick off on December 11, 2024, at 4 p.m. and promises to inspire engaging discussions.

THE PROGRAM
Wednesday, 11/12/2024 at 4pm, room F.06 at UNIBZ
WHEN CONFLICT AND LOSS BECOME FORM: a dialogue with Shoghakat Vardanyan.

“The seminar is organized in cooperation with the FAS – Film Association South Tyrol, the Zelig – School for Documentary and the ‘Consorzio Lavoratori Studenti’ (CLS). Roberto Farneti, Emanuela Fronza, Daniela Giannetti and Emanuele Vernillo will engage film director Shoghakat Vardanyan on her feature documentary 1489, where she filmed her parents and herself through the search of her younger brother Soghomon, a 21-year old musician, who had disappeared in the front line of the Artsakh (Nagorno- Karabakh) conflict in 2020. The film intersects the private sphere of family life with the dramatic public event of a brutal conflict.”

Wednesday, 11/12/2024 at 8pm at Filmclub Bolzano
SCREENING of “1489” including a Q&A with the director and CLOSING DRINKS at the Filmclub Foyer.
BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE

The DOC DAY edition 2024/2025 is supported by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen-South Tyrol 🙏.

“1489” is Winner of “Best Feature-Length Documentary” and the FIPRESCI Prize at IDFA 2023!

SYNOPSIS:
When soldiers are killed, they often end up as anonymous numbers in news reports. But behind every number there is a person who leaves behind heartbroken family members. The title 1489 refers to the anonymous number of a “body of an individual missing in action.” It was the number assigned to Soghomon Vardanyan, a 21-year-old student and musician who was close to completing his mandatory military service when the conflict between Azerbaijan and his home country Armenia over Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) flared up again in September 2020. On the seventh day of the war, Soghomon goes missing. Using her phone camera, his sister Shoghakat decides to film her and her parents’ search and their emotional process. After six months, bones are found, but DNA research is needed to show whether the remains are actually those of Soghomon, and the family will have to wait a year and a half for the results. All the while, Shoghakat continues to film, even in the most intimate and vulnerable moments, which sometimes makes for an uncomfortable viewing experience. But at the same time, it makes the intense sadness and loss of a human being of flesh and blood all the more tangible.—IDFA

SECOND DOC DAY DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2024

OMI NOBU by Carlos Yuri Ceuninck

On November 21, we are back with the second film of our DOC DAY series, OMI NOBU, a visually stunning experience on the big cinema screen. We look forward to your presence, together with our partners for the evening – the Ökoinstitut Südtirol/Alto Adige.

OMI NOBU explores Man’s intimate relationship with Time; the contrast between the frozen time of an abandoned village and that of man confronts us with our own mortal condition. Quirino’s story is also a confrontation between tradition and modernity, between Man’s attachment to the Earth and his relationship with Nature.
The story takes place on the island of Sao Nicolau in Cabo Verde, in Ribeira Funda, a small village located at the bottom of a deep valley surrounded by high mountains and a rough ocean. Its inhabitants have experienced such a series of disastrous events that frightening superstitions have led them to flee the village to escape the forces of evil. Everyone left the village to settle in the nearby Estância de Brás. All except one. One man remained: Quirino.
For over thirty years, 77-year-old Quirino has been the sole inhabitant of Ribeira Funda, the ghost village. He has survived for decades by fishing and growing vegetables. He spends his days contemplating the ocean and the majestic mountains that surround his home. His only company is a rooster, a few sparrows and a battery-powered portable radio, which hums with news from the rest of the world. But in the twilight of his life, Quirino, faced with an uncertain future and the harassing weight of isolation, illness and old age, resolves to leave the only place he has ever known.

OMI NOBU takes us on a journey through the days and nights of the past, present and future of a village, a land and a man, and, in fine, meditates on our ontological relationship with the finitude of time and space.

FIRST DOC DAY DATE Edition 2024/2025: OCTOBER 10, 2024

THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES by Asmae El Moudir

We are very happy to announce the inaugural film of our new DOC DAY Programme! Kicking off the 2024/2025 edition is the critically acclaimed documentary “The Mother of All Lies,” directed by the talented Asmae El Moudir. This remarkable film has graced the screens of all the major international film festivals, garnering widespread recognition and numerous prestigious awards along the way. Notably, it claimed the highly coveted “Directing Prize Un Certain Regard” and “The Golden Eye Documentary Prize” at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, solidifying its place as a standout work. In addition to its accolades, the hybrid documentary was Morocco’s Official Entry for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
We are eager to share this powerful film with you and inspire meaningful discussions around its themes and artistry. Join us for an unforgettable evening of cinema as we celebrate the art of documentary filmmaking and the voices that challenge our perceptions. Our partner for this evening is Female Views.

SHORT SYNOPSIS
Young Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir wants to know why she only has one photograph from her childhood and why the girl in the picture isn’t even her. She decides to explore the past and its mysteries by creating a handmade replica of the Casablanca neighbourhood where she grew up. There, she begins to interrogate the tales her mother, father and grandmother tell about their home and their country. Slowly, she starts to unravel the layers of deception and intentional forgetting that have shaped her life. The truth is hardto face, but in this sometimes surreal nonfiction film, El Moudir begins to draw what is real to the surface.

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

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.
