This festival is based on an idea that transcends the limits of the documentary, an expanding genre, that from it’s own truth reflects a world filled with different points of view and voices. A genre that always aims forward, to reinvent itself and express human relationships without stereotypes, without following an agenda.
We bet on a clever creation, thoughtful and reflexive, that gives us stylish, thematic and formal visions to think about cinema from different places inside the documentary aspect genre with intentions from their authors, without format limitations, materials or experimentation resources.
The 8th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival, opens its convocation from august 24 to october 6th, 2021, to filmmakers from around the world to submit their feature films and short films, that make up the sections of this 8th edition.

Menorca Doc is a film and documentary photography festival that aims to show aspects of society that are not disseminated in cinemas, the media or the usual audiovisual distribution channels.
