Our funding group thinks we should do 40 or less screenings per quarter due to the limited funding they can give us.
This fall, we are looking at showing more than 80 unique films. A film (or two) every day of the week. That’s what Doc is all about.

doc films audiences like to clap and i think it’s very sweet, a collective acknowledgement of a collective experience…
it also makes it funnier when ppl don’t clap for things
Clapping after a movie if there aren't actual cast and or crew members present is so absurd

also im not trying to bash on big films and be anti-popular things but in my experience doc is at its best when you show up to a movie you hadn’t really known about before and just watch it. hit or miss it’s always interesting and almost always worth it
