Winter Edition of DOCK International Documentary Historical Film Festival: Women During World War II

The biggest forum for international historical documentary film - DOCK International Documentary Historical Film Festival, will delight documentary film fans with a special winter edition.

It will be dedicated to women during World War II and will tell those stories that have long remained in the shadows, but continue to resonate strongly today.

Historical documentary films await you, reminding us that courage has many faces – and many of them are female.

The winter edition of the festival will be held at two locations in Burgas, to reach an even wider audience - the Regional Library „Peyo Yavorov“ and the Youth International Center.

The festival program begins on February 4th at the Regional Library „Peyo K.
