Special announcement!

Sofia DocuМental is launching a call for filmmakers, who are working on documentary projects related to human rights and investigation. The workshop will be led by the director of The Trial: The State of Russia vs Oleg Sentsov – Askold Kurov.

The participants will have the chance to discuss the specifics of their projects both in a group and individually with the mentor. Askold Kurov will also give a special masterclass on his film The Trial: The State of Russia vs Oleg Sentsov.
