Sixty-eight-year-old Cava will work until 11 p.m., trying to earn enough money to buy the medicine his wife needs to treat her cancer, while festivalgoers hurry excitedly through the city, tickets and souvenirs in hand.

One cob of Cava's roasted corn costs a euro. He sells up to 50 a day during Dokufest, but barely 10 on other days.

The three major international film festivals in Kosovo, the International Documentary and Short Film Festival - Dokufest, the International Film Festival in Prishtina - Prifilm Fest (PriFest), and the International Animation Festival - Anibar, will be held this summer as planned, on condition that organisers respect restrictions designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Kosovo's International Documentary and Short film festival, Dokufest, running from August 3 - 11 in Prizren, has already selected 255 films out of 2,500 that applied from all over the world. They will be screened in six competing categories and 14 other special categories.
