In this unprecedented time; the power of storytelling has grown and become a force for helping people navigate the tremendous challenges and changes brought on by the pandemic, climate crisis and obscurantism.

In this context, the international documentary industry has a special responsibility and that #StorytellingMatters more than ever before. It is the central theme of Sunny Side of the Doc 2021 and the organizers would like it to resonate within both the pitching sessions and PiXii selections. To that extent, the organizers will particularly welcome projects which inspire change and shine a light on action for the future.

This year’s festival run from June 21-24, 2021.
