The first edition of the International Documentary Film Festival Flahertiana was held in 1995 and until 2006 it was held once in two years. That time it was more like a theoretic workshop, not competition. Since 2006 the festival officially became annual international documentary film festival with international competition jury and FIPRESCI jury.
The event will be held on 11–17 December 2020 in Russia.
