DOC NYC is a new festival launching this November to celebrate documentary storytelling across multiple fields including film, photography, and prose. DOC NYC will take place in the heart of Greenwich Village at the IFC Center and NYU's Kimmel Center, including the 860-seat Skirball Center for Performing Arts. The mission of DOC NYC is to leverage the power of New York City – as the capital of journalism, publishing, advertising and more – to help documentary storytellers reach new audiences. The festival will be a gathering place for the world's leading creators, thinkers and celebrities to come together to incubate ideas.
