Van Leer says she received hundreds of submissions for the Documentary Wolgin Award category and that narrowing it down to 13 was no easy task. The chosen 13 tackle such subjects as transgender identity (); an Israeli-Arab couple who decide to move to Spain (On Hold); the tribulations of women soldiers (Summer Seeds); the dreams of a Moscow-born artist (A Fool's DreamChildren of the Sun); Holocaust-themed pornography during the Sixties (Stalags: Holocaust and Pornography in Israel); and the life of enigmatic Greek singer Aris San (The Mystery of Aris San).
