“A pocket-sized, highly-pedigreed, gem of a festival”

Michael Phillips / Chicago Tribune


“Following the grand philosophy of less is more, I think if you could see all of these films your life might be changed, but I think if you can see any one of them, your life will be enriched.”

The Festival

Doc10, Chicago’s only all-documentary film festival, provides an engaging experience for its audiences, reaching thousands of audiences since 2015. In addition to special events and engaging conversations, the festival screens over 10 of the year's best documentaries, curated from top-tier film festivals across the world, including Sundance, Telluride, Venice, and Berlin. This is the first, and often only, opportunity for Chicagoans to see these extraordinary films on the big screen. Twenty of the 50+ films we’ve premiered have been shortlisted or nominated for Academy Awards.
