Great accomplishments require ambition and tireless effort.


GZDOC has come to its nineteenth year, from the constant fumbling in the childhood era to the breakthrough growth in the youth era, achieving a magnificent transformation from documentary academic symposium, documentary conference to documentary festival.


The 19th GZDOC is presented online from April 15-17. The opening ceremony will be released on the Audio-Visual China and Youku . Youku, as the exclusive strategic video partner platform of the festival, will exclusively present the industry forum, master classes and film screening content of the festival.


The data of the 19th GZDOC is quite eye-catching. A total of 3670 documentaries were collected to participate in the exhibition, creating a record high. Their sources cover 125 countries and regions around the world, and foreign films account for as high as 82.3%.


During the initial evaluation session, which lasted for more than 4 months, 92 filmmakers watched thousands of participating documentaries through the Golden Kapok online selection system, and wrote a total of more than 200,000 words of comments, expressing their judging attitude of "never letting go of a good film" during the audition stage. In the re-evaluation session after that, an expert jury composed of 12 national and provincial film and television media professionals, senior documentary directors, producers and university scholars selected 46 documentaries as finalists after a rigorous review and voting.


Below is the list of the 19th GZDOC's Golden Kapok Award Competition Finalists
