The 21st annual DOXA Documentary Film Festival will display a total of “55 features and mid-lengths, 24 short films, both pre-recorded and live Q+As, as well as Industry events and multiple opportunities for filmmakers, audiences and industry professionals to connect, both virtually and in person.”
The showcased films will be accessible to stream Canada-wide through DOXA’s online platform. The screenings will be held at The Vancouver Playhouse, The Cinematheque, VIFF Centre and SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts. The DOXA events will take place at SFU’s World Arts Centre.
DOXA acquires a community of various filmmakers as well as professionals to have conversations about the art of non-fictional storytelling. Filmmakers with any level of experience are invited to take part in important conversation while, also developing the skills and connections required to move their projects along through a sequence of seminars, masterclasses, opportunities for connection and panel discussions.
The Justice Forum has been one of DOXA’s foundational programs for over a decade, showcasing films that encourage effective and critical engagement that makes room for conversation and increases the desire for social change. Every Justice Forum film comes with a live or pre-recorded discussion between speakers that can appropriately talk about the film because they are relevant to its issue.
