Festival DocuText is back for it’s 10th year!
A documentary film festival, in the National Library, a perfect cinematic experience under the stars (or in the air-conditioned auditorium) in an atmosphere like no other.
Five days of selected documentary films from Israel and abroad, festive open-air premieres, conversations with filmmakers, lectures, master classes and workshops. This year, films that deal with local realities and distant realities await you: Iranian culture, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and nature’s power to heal.
