entered to this year’s edition of the Market, out of which the organizers have chosen about 300
films. We are immensely glad of the fact that the selection of the most interesting documentaries
from Germany, Swiss, Greece, East and Central Europe has been once again prepared by our
partners: DOK Leipzig, East Silver, Thessalonki International Documentary Film Festival together with
Greek Film Centre, Swiss Films and Visions du Reel Film Festival. All qualified films will be in a
specially prepared catalogue, and during the Market they will be available for viewing in the digital
videolibrary. Extremely efficient, unique software for watching films, introduced by the organizers 5
