Presented by the California Film Institute, DOCLANDS Documentary Film Festival brings compelling stories and the provocative insight behind them to Marin County, CA.
With extended dates in early May, the 2022 Festival will reflect and build upon the structure and innovations we introduced during the outbreak of COVID while being responsive and respectful of the public health situation. This flexibility means planning for an accessible, inclusive hybrid Festival, with the hope we're able to maintain access to those unable or unwilling to attend. We will continue to deliver a festival that engages our members and patrons, supports filmmakers and our valued partners, and bolsters the documentary film community.
No matter what form screenings and conversations take moving forward, DocLands encourages the exchange of ideas and inspiration through public screenings, engaged conversations, pitching, and grassroots networking events with an aim to build an active, inclusive, fully supportive community around documentary film dedicated to initiating connections and partnerships that will illuminate and invigorate the business and art of non-fiction filmmaking.
DocLands is a non-competitive, non-juried film festival, with one overall Audience Choice Award.
