      Для нашої команди організовувати фестиваль онлайн за нинішніх обставин – це інтенсивна робота, сповнена викликів та експериментів. Зараз, коли ми активно готуємо Docudays UA-2020, формуємо програму, занурюємося у тонкощі віртуального світу, нам неабияк важливо відчувати підтримку та довіру нашої аудиторії.

      До скорої зустрічі в мережі!
