The Georgia Documentary Film Festival is a theatrical screening event in Atlanta, Georgia. Our mission is to screen independently produced documentary films from around the world at Atlanta Brewing Company every year. We support and screen films from the state of Georgia, all 50 US States, as well as International Documentary Films. Every film that is submitted to the Georgia Documentary Film Festival will be graded by 12 different judges that will watch every minute of every film including credits.
The Georgia Documentary Film Festival selects the top 30% of films rated by our judging panel. These are called the "official selections." Of the films that are named official selections, there are 4 nominations for each award category. On the event date, there is one winner per award category. If you are unable to attend the event, we will mail the award to you, free of charge, anywhere in the world. The following is a list of our award categories:
Best Cinematography Award
Best Director Award
Best Documentary Film Award (6-30 minutes)
Best Documentary Micro Short Film Award (1-6 minutes)
