The Grand Prix in the Baltic Focus competition was presented to the Polish/Lithuanian coproduction Trains directed by Maciej Drygas.
Founded by Vitaly Mansky, the International Documentary Film Festival ArtDocFest originated in Russia, where it was held from 2007 to 2019. In 2018, the entire festival competition and jury activities were relocated to Riga, where in 2020 ArtDocFest/Riga separated from Riga IFF to become the independent IDFF ArtDocFest/Riga.
