Productions from South Africa, Belgium, Brazil, Cape Verde, Denmark, the United States, the Philippines, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Netherlands , Madagascar, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russia, Swaziland and Tanzania bring to 18 the number of countries represented.

Launched in 2014, INSTIDOC is a public interest documentary platform supported by public, private, non-governmental and non-profit organizations.

In addition to promoting the independent documentary work, the initiative seeks to encourage the production of new works by guaranteeing a public space for their viewing, thus awakening and reviving institutional interest in supporting documentaries and the creative industries in general.

As in previous years, the showing of documentaries seeks to facilitate contact and the sharing of experiences between artists, institutions and the public, promoting debate in the dialogue sessions that follow the daily viewings.
