The professional and educational program of the Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival returns again this year! Between November 12–16, DocPro welcomes everyone interested in the world of documentary film — from professionals to students and general audiences. The aim of Verzió DocPro is to create space for connection, exchange, and inspiration within the documentary community. Over five days, the program explores both current professional issues and broader topics that engage the public, through panels, masterclasses, and presentations.

Wednesday, November 12: DocLab & Hun Docs Cookin’ Presentations (Institut Français, Budapest, Fő u. 17, 1011, Auditorium)

The 10th anniversary edition of DocLab Workshop concludes with a presentation day, showcasing six international projects (from Georgia, Spain, Italy, Finland, Ukraine, and Hungary). In collaboration with the Hungarian Documentary Association (MADOKE), four additional Hungarian projects will also be presented — offering them a unique opportunity to introduce themselves to both the audience and international decision-makers here, in Budapest.

Attendance for the presentations is open to everyone! (Afternoon sessions are closed to the public.)
