About Us
Now in it’s seventh year, The Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival (ICDOCS) is an annual festival committed to engaging our Iowa audience with the world at large through films that explore the boundaries of documentary and non-fiction filmmaking. The festival showcases independent, high-quality short (under 30 minutes) nonfiction film and video from around the world.ICDOCS was founded in 2001 with the mission of serving as a catalyst for positive change and fostering dialogue on a range of contemporary issues, both local and international. We are a non-profit, all volunteer-run organization. Our Board programs approximately 10 hours of short works in competition for a ‘Best of the Festival’ award, and sponsors special out-of-competition screenings and events, including screenings by distinguished jurors.
