The 16th International Documentary Film Festival ZagrebDox was originally scheduled to run from 15-22 March (see the news), but the pandemic forced the festival to be postponed. A Special Edition of ZagrebDox therefore ran from 4-11 October at the SC Cinema and &TD Theatre of the Student Centre in Zagreb, where 50 documentaries from the official sections were screened to the audience. The festival also announced its winners during an online awards ceremony on Saturday 10 October.

The International Competition jury, comprising award-winning Croatian documentary filmmaker Goran Dević, Slovenian director, producer, artistic director and Makedox programmer Petra Seliškar, and Czech director and photographer Anna Kryvenko, handed the main prize, the Big Stamp, to Froth by Russian first-time director Ilya Povolotskiy. The jury was “attracted by the minimalistic portrayal of an isolated community in the direct film tradition. The director managed to discover the place and its history in today’s Murmansk.” The jury’s Special Mention was presented to Exemplary Behaviour [+leggi anche:

 by Audrius Mickevičius and Nerijus Milerius, for “an exceptional and dramatic personal approach to saying goodbye, collective revenge and systematic punishment, turning a real-life story into cinematic meditation”.

The regional jury, consisting of Croatian journalist and editor Dean Šoša, Italian set designer and director Valentina Primavera (last year’s winner in this section), and film producer and artistic director of the Trieste Film Festival Nicoletta Romeo, described it as “a sober portrayal of the troubles of the oppressed class without any embellishment, rhetoric or moral judgement”.
