The DOC CHICAGO conference brings Midwest documentary filmmakers together to exchange ideas, learn, and connect. From expert panels to film screenings, community conversations, and a new Illinois Short Docs Contest, DOC CHICAGO offers a gathering place for filmmakers to gain new insights and strengthen our connections across the region.

After a year's hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, DOC CHICAGO will return in fall 2021! 

The DOC CHICAGO conference will be free to attend and take place at the Chicago Cultural Center. Please sign up for updates here.
