The European Competition

The European Competition of the Szczecin European Film Festival, whose history goes back to the beginnings of the dokumentART festival in 1991, has for many years been a platform for discussing the present-day art of the documentary in the Polish-German border region. Apart from film screenings, the international documentary filmmakers scene meets with the audience during discussions in Szczecin.

The tension between the traditional and the avant-garde, the formal and thematic explorations, the defying of genres, and the changing of cinematic customs: this is what defines the Szczecin European Film Festival. A multicultural background and the dialogue of committee members guarantee that the audience gets a broad view of modern documentary cinema, its artistic and social involvement, as well as the commitment to a singular protagonist.
This year's competition will feature European films produced between 2013 and 2014.
