Artdocfest Online is a new chapter of the Artdocfest Festival, which was held in Russia until 2022.
The International Documentary Film Festival Artdocfest took place in Moscow from 2007 to 2022. In 2017, the festival's competition program was transferred to Latvia, where the International Documentary Film Festival Artdocfest/Riga was established in 2020. The original Artdocfest competition subsequently became one of the two competition sections of the new festival.
