Artdocfest announces the finalists of the 2026 pitching session. The pitching of documentary projects this year is held with the support of New Generation Europe Foundation.
Ten projects have made it to the final — diverse in tone, language, and experience, yet united by a precise view of reality and a commitment to speaking about what matters with honesty and a personal voice.
- “Cargo 500” (director Polina Prokofyeva)
- “Motherland, Mother” (director Vladimir Sevrinovsky)
- “Olga” (director Slava Unreal)
- “Assembly Point” (director Yulia Guskova)
- “Seasons” (director Filipp Sotnichenko)
- “Kalmyk Road” (director Valeria Nokhaeva)
- “Nikita Tsitsagi. Wind of Time” (director Ruslan Mulyukov)
- “Invisible Traces” (director Sultan Usuvaliev)
- “Motherland in the Womb” (director Alexandra Strelyanaya)
- “Rap for My Son” (director Yana Isaenko)
We would like to thank all filmmakers who submitted their projects. This year’s selection was strong and diverse, and choosing the finalists was not an easy task.
Congratulations to the selected participants — we look forward to discovering these projects at the pitching.
