Puhovski mentioned during the presentation: “We are entering adulthood happy and proud to be one of the few festivals that have shown films exclusively in cinemas in these past few, challenging years. With a selection of the best recent films, ZagrebDox continues to open up space, and provide an opportunity to explore and understand the world around us, in all its fullness, through the film medium, meetings at the cinema, conversations and the sharing of emotions.”

As always, ZagrebDox will offer more sections than just its competitive ones, and this year, the sidebars include Masters of Dox, Controversial Dox and State of Affairs, along with the Road Dox section curated by Vladan Petković and the Points of View strand curated by Jelena Pašić. Serbian director Želimir Žilnik will have a retrospective dedicated to his films made in Germany in the mid-1970s, while the “author’s evening” belongs to director Katarina Zrinka Matijević, president of this year’s international jury, with a selection of films curated by Diana Nenadić.
