Full Frame Documentary Film Festival

Event Details

Founded in 1998, the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival celebrates the power and artistry of documentary film. Recognized as the premier documentary film festival in the United States by both The New York Times and indieWIRE, Full Frame is an important arena for documentary filmmakers — a place where they can showcase their work theatrically in an environment that stimulates conversation and community between filmmakers, industry executives and the general public.
Every spring Full Frame welcomes filmmakers and film lovers from around the world to the historic Carolina Theatre in downtown Durham, North Carolina, for a four-day, morning-to-midnight smorgasbord of:
- More than 100 films (both curated and submitted for competition)
- Panel discussions
- Seminars
- Q&A sessions
- And southern hospitality!
The festival is produced by Doc Arts, Inc. and enjoys support from private and corporate sponsors whose generosity provides the foundation that makes the event possible. These sponsors include The New York Times, Duke University, A&E, and HBO, among many others.
