The wars and crises in the world are reflected in the program of this year's DOK Leipzig documentary film festival. Various films are dedicated to Ukraine or Syria, but also to the long-term consequences of the Caucasus or Bosnian wars, as the organizers announced. The festival will be held from October 28 to November 3.
In contrast, films dealing with the current situation in the Middle East since the Hamas terror attack on Israel are not represented, said festival director Christoph Terhechte. "The films we saw did not seem suitable." They were knitted with too hot a needle. However, the festival program includes several films that deal with the Middle East conflict in general.
