Alliance Francaise de Panjim, Museum of Goa and 6 Assagao are all set to organise the Goa Documentary Festival from November 3 to 5.
The first day of the festival will see the screening of On the Edge of the World by Claus Drexel which follows the homeless in Paris followed by the secret of Zia Maria by Isabelle Balducchi, at Alliance Francaise de Panjim. The festival will move to Museum of Goa on November 4 where guests will get to see the documentary Remembering Kurdi by Saumyananda Sahi which focuses on the memories of a village that was submerged by the Selaulim Dam over three decades ago but which resurfaces annually for a few weeks in summer. This will be followed by Everybody Street by Cheryl Dunn which talks about the lives and works of New York's iconic photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades.
The last day of the festival will be held at 6 Assagao and will see the screening of three films Caazu by Ronak Kamat at 7 pm which will focus on the lives of local feni and urrack distillers from remote villages of Goa, Sarajeviens by Damien Fritsch which looks at Sarajeviens today, and Sadhu in Bombay by Kabir Mehta, which is a a portrait of a man with ascetic origins who has been radically transformed by city life.
