Addoc

Addoc was born in 1992 from the desire of directors to defend the documentary of creation.

The association is based on a principle of sharing experiences which takes concrete form in workshops implemented by the members. These workshops seek to construct an active vision of documentary cinema, articulating practical questions, aesthetic commitments and political positions.

Addoc is a meeting place open to confirmed or emerging filmmakers, technicians and anyone involved in the creation of documentary films.

The award of the Addoc proposed to a director from the FIDÉ’s selection will be this year :

– the screening of his/her film on the occasion of the monthly programming at cinema Luminor.
