    DOK Leipzig standout: Vincent Graf in conversation about “Nonna”

    Attending DOK Leipzig for the first time this year felt like stepping into a vibrant constellation of urgent stories, bold artistic voices, and unexpected emotional turns. During the three last days of the festival, I encountered very diverse films that were each a revelation. My festival journey began with Vincent Graf’s “Nonna,” shown in a packed arthouse cinema in the heart of Leipzig, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a warmer introduction to DOK Leipzig. The film is an affectionate, spirited portrait of the filmmaker’s larger-than-life grandmother, whose vibrant, sharp-witted presence illuminates every frame.
