SHORT LIST BLOCK #3: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Short-form documentaries have been booming in recent years thanks to major players such as Netflix, TIME Studios, Field of Vision, POV, MTV, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. DOC NYC’s Short List for Shorts, organized by Shorts Programmer Samah Ali, highlights 12 doc shorts that impress us as the year’s leading awards contenders.

Short List shorts will be presented in four programs, each with a reduced ticket price of $12

To hear more insights from this year’s Short List filmmakers, attend the online Short List: Shorts conversations via DOC NYC’s Facebook Live on Mon. Nov. 22. This event is free to the public.
