In its five-week run, Daang Dokyu will feature one section per week: ecology, nation, taboo, localities, and future.
For its opening program, the film festival streamed martial law documentaries and later extended its run after their system was overwhelmed by viewers.
The film festival, which runs Oct. 2 to Nov. 5, was originally scheduled in March but had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. – Kaela Malig/RC, GMA News
