DOCVILLE 2009
5th EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL
DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL LEUVEN

Saturday, May 2nd, the fifth edition of DOCVILLE will start. Documentary film will be the focus of the entire city of Leuven.

The festival uses its well tried and enjoyed formula: a surveyable, strongly selected programme of the best contemporary national and international documentary films. The focus lies on cinematographically strong films with a personal approach, films with character, author documentaries that can tell us something. DOCVILLE represents freshness and originality, but also diversity: the documentary film world is large, colourful and diversified, the DOCVILLE programme is just the same.

The DOCVILLE-jury will award a SCAM and CANVAS award for best national and international documentary. Aside from the competitive section DOCVILLE presents a number of specials, retrospectives and avant-premières.

DOCVILLE will present +/- 50 different titles, 75 screenings and 3 different locations (STUK, Studio Filmtheaters, Bibliotheek Tweebronnen)
