Warsaw's 9th annual International Film Festival WATCH DOCS is set to
open on 4 December 2009. The festival competition offers the Warsaw
premieres of the world's top documentary films broadly related to
issues of human rights. This year's competition includes 19 films vying
for the WATCH DOCS festival Award. In addition to the competition, the
Festival's permanent thematic sections include the "Discreet Charm of
Propaganda," "Close-ups," this year devoted to post-Soviet states, and
"I Want to See," with films on current events. This year, four thematic
retrospectives round out the program, including "The Money is Doing
Fine" - about the relationships between money, power structures and
human rights violations, as well as "Cinematic resistance - documentary
underground" rife with subversive documentaries made without the
knowledge or consent of authorities.
