The festival will be held without the physical presence of foreign guests due to the pandemic and the measures for protection and prevention of Covid-19. The film discussions, talks, masterclasses and workshops will be held only virtually.
The festival will screen 67 films. The screenings will be held at the open-air cinema of Youth Cultural Center (MKC) and the Cinemateque of North Macedonia.
The films are split into six sections: Main Programme, Newcomers, Short Dox, Student Dox, Kids and Youth Programme and Focus Netherlands. The films will compete for the Onion Award for best film in the main competition programme, the Young Onion Award for best film in the Newcomers’ competition programme, the Sliced Onion Award for the best short film, the Onion Seed Award for best film in the student competition programme and the Moral Approach Award.
