I want personally to thank all the filmmakers that have submitted their works to Roma Cinema DOC film festival.
We have received 349 submissions this year and we are really impressed by the quality of the films received.
In this first step, we have watched / we are still watching every film that we have received in order to do a first selection. Usually this phase take a lot of time, because we discuss a lot about wich films will pass in the next step and wich films will be excluded from the festival. It’s not easy and we pay to this job all our attention.
Only the 30% of the submissions are considered as FINALISTS. To be Finalist means that all films will be evaluated again by our Jury in order to select the WINNERS that will be screened to the annual event, the Roma Cinema DOC 2020 that will take place on April.
A big thank you to our Jury that took time to evaluate each film with extreme accuracy.
