The documentaries amongst others will explore Polish queer performers, the Zagreb ballroom and voguing scene, and the homophobia experienced in Cameroon. Additionally, this year's VR films in the Vektor VR program discuss various forms of perception and body awareness. Detailed program and tickets in pre-sale are now available on the website.

Hungarian films will again feature prominently in the program of the Verzió Documentary Film Festival. This year's Hungarian Competition program will feature six new films that have won accolades internationally and will be making their debut at Verzió in Hungary. Stories will include rock climbers battling addiction, unusual childbearing and a road trip for people with special needs. You can meet the filmmakers after the screenings.
