Factumentaries

Factumentaries bring together films with a strong authorial stance and sharp social focus. Here, documentary functions as intervention – into public space, political debate and collective conscience. These films refuse passive observation and demand engagement. They address injustice, manipulation, abuse of power, but also resistance and solidarity. Approaches vary – investigative, essayistic or personal – yet intention is always clear. This section reminds us that documentary is not only art, but public responsibility. Many films do work institutions fail to do: collecting evidence, preserving memory, opening files. Factumentaries confront the consequences of long-term neglect. The programme is demanding but necessary. Indifference is rarely possible – and that is precisely its strength.

And of course: Factumentaries are produced by Factum!
