ATTENTION FILMMAKERS: Submissions for 2024 are closed. We look forward to receiving new projects for the 2025 edition!
Taking place live in NYC on Thursday, November 14, this program offers a unique platform for filmmakers to engage directly with prominent figures in distribution, financing, publicity, marketing, social impact, and beyond. It aims to curate promising documentaries of the future for industry consideration and select projects from a competitive pool of online submissions.
This year, DOC NYC is excited to announce a collaboration with independent documentary producer AJH Films who is offering a grand prize of $5,000 to one project, $500 to each of the other participating film teams, and an opportunity to apply to AJH Filmmakers Fund for support, mentorship, and investment.
