Internationally acclaimed and a Cannes favourite, Japanese director Noami Kawase will be the “Director-in-Focus” for this year’s international documentary film festival where she will be in town on Sunday to share her experience with local film buffs.

The 2nd Macao International Documentary Film Festival (MOIDF), jointly organised by Cinematheque.Passion and Comuna de Han-Ian, will start rolling tomorrow at the cinema near Saint Paul’s Ruins. It will wrap up on July 30.

Themed “Image of Time”, the festival will screen 27 documentary films from different parts of the world with Taiwan’s “Small Talk”, which won the Best Documentary of the Teddy Award at this year’s Berlinale, as the opening film for the month long festival. There will also be a post-screening talk for those who want more in-depths to the film and its director.
