DC/DOX returns June 11–14, 2026, with an ambitious slate of 100 films — features and shorts from around the globe — showcasing the very best in documentary storytelling today.
Across four dynamic days, audiences can expect world and U.S. premieres, filmmaker Q&As, special guests, and conversations that extend far beyond the screen.
The Reality Check Forum will once again anchor the festival’s commitment to advancing documentary practice, convening filmmakers, industry leaders, journalists, and policymakers for panels, workshops, and masterclasses exploring the urgent questions shaping our world — and the evolving craft of nonfiction cinema itself.
