As its own Manifesto says, the Valencia Docs is a festival that is above all “stories, views, perspectives, experiences, and exchange of cultures”.
As we have anticipated, this year, for the first time, the call has also been launched outside Spain, thus embracing new narratives and assuming a broader vision.
In these last days of the festival, it will be possible to attend documentary screenings from Spain, France and Poland.
