Announcing the 2026 Reality Check Forum

The Reality Check Forum is a dedicated space for fostering dialogue and collaboration within the documentary film community.

Join us for a dynamic series of panels, workshops, masterclasses, and 1:1 sessions. Together, we’ll explore the evolving landscape of documentary filmmaking—sharing practical resources, fresh ideas, and best practices across disciplines, and diving into craft, funding, ethics, impact, archives, distribution, legal considerations, and beyond.

Made possible with the generous support of
