Six films at the DOKer festival that inspire innovation

LANIT and documentary film festival “Docker” ties seven-year friendship. Business and art have a lot in common: both need creative energy, innovative thinking models. Together with the organizing committee of the festival, we came up with a film competition about information technologies, which was called “LET IT DOK!” Films in this category tell how technology is changing people’s lives, their aspirations and dreams.

This year for the competition “LET IT DOK!” received 350 films, of which six made it to the final. For example, the story of a Czech miner who decided to radically change his life and become a programmer; a shocking film experiment aimed at preventing crimes against children and adolescents in the virtual space; a picture of love with home androids.

The article details each finalist film. You can see them on the big screen at the DOKer festival, which will take place from 18 to 27 June at the Oktyabr cinema.

Screenings of IT films will be held from June 19 to June 24, while DOKer itself will last longer – from June 18 to June 27 (you can see the full program of the festival by following the link Program 2020 | DOKer Film Festival (midff.ru)… It will be possible to see the films first (within the framework of LET IT DOK! – four world premieres) in the spacious halls of the Oktyabr cinema at 24 Novy Arbat.

It is also curious that when you come to the show, you will act as a jury. The best picture “LET IT DOK!” will determine the results of the audience voting. By the way, last year the choice fell on the debut of the Israeli director Itamar Rose – “100 million views”. The director (who also appeared in the film and as the main character) wondered how to become popular on YouTube. This time there are no tapes in Hebrew among IT films. But the program includes three Russian tapes at once.
