The 10th Anniversary edition of DOC NYC – America’s largest documentary festival – takes place from November 6 through 15. Among the 300+ films and events are 28 World Premieres, 27 U.S. Premieres, and 59 NYC Premieres. More than 500 doc makers and special guests will be on hand to present their films or participate on panels. This year’s festival is dedicated to the memory of D.A. Pennebaker (Don’t Look Back, Monterrey Pop), a DOC NYC fixture who died this past summer.
As always, there is a multitude of worthy films from all over the world, in myriad styles, about almost every conceivable subject. Individual portraits include the founder of the World Toilet Organization (Lily Zepeda's Mr. Toilet: The World’s #2 Man); an innovative and iconic punk performer (Beth B's Lydia Lynch: The War Is Never Over), and a revered Abstract Expressionist painter (Dennis Scholl's Lifeline: Clyfford Still), plus many others.
Among this year's offerings are docs sure to make you seethe (Matthew O'Connor & Barnaby O’Connor’s The Pickup Game, about the billion-dollar industry fueling the "art" of picking up women, and Deia Schlossberg’s environmental expose The Story of Plastic); docs that will crack you up (Weijun Chen's comedic City Dream, about a Chinese street vendor who clashes with authorities); and docs that will make certain people wildly nostalgic (Scott Crawford's Boy Howdy! The Story of Creem Magazine).
Here are just a few more highlights:
