About the Program

DocuClub is a work-in-progress screening series offering the public and members of the documentary film community a first look of new projects. Filmmakers and creators have the opportunity to showcase their rough cut and consult feedback from their peers and audience. 

Why DocuClub

For many, DocuClub is the first opportunity for a filmmaker to share their work-in-progress in an intimate setting with a general audience at a critical moment in their process. Presented in partnership with regional film organizations, select filmmakers are paired with seasoned story/editing consultants to help them integrate audience feedback into their film.

In 2021, due to the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic, DocuClub will be held virtually. Screenings will be held on the Eventive platform, and feedback discussions will take place in a Zoom meeting immediately following screenings.

DocuClub is presented in partnership with:

• DCTV in New York City
• Film Independent in Los Angeles
• Hawai’i Women in Filmmaking in Honolulu
• NOVAC in New Orleans
• Sisters in Cinema in Chicago
