Doc.London is part of Doc.World, a global network of Documentary Film Festivals, with festivals in London, Berlin, Ghent, Sydney, and Boston.

 

Truth: Stranger than Fiction. Facts aren’t always facts, and “alternative facts” don't always lie.

 

In a world where “truth” is carefully curated, filtered, and viewed through the lens of social media, often the only difference between truth and fiction lies in the perspective through which one views the world.

 

Documentary films offer a fascinating peephole into a particular reality, at a certain time of a certain person's life. Whether in the form of an expository, a poem, an essay, an observational piece, whether it's dramatized, animated, or based on interviews, documentary films all have a message to send.

 

How can we make a difference in the world?

 

Documentary films are not just an avenue through which we can observe real life; they also serve to inform, educate, and critique. They are valuable creations in a day and age where media is increasingly curated and so much more homogenous.

​

That is why the Doc.World film festivals welcome all of the above forms of documentary film-making, and even more so, those that transcend boundaries to move fluidly between one and more styles.
