The DOC NYC Documentary Film Festival is a new film festival in New York that celebrates storytelling, photography and other media in New York City. This year the festival will feature new films from filmmakers Errol Morris and Werner Herzog.
DOC NYC will also have a retrospective of the filmmaker Errol Morris featuring some of his films like A Brief History of Time, Gates of Heaven and The Thin Blue Line plus a Q&A with the documentarian.
The CriterionCast is proud to cover this festival for our readers in New York City. The festival starts on November 3rd and will run through November 9th. It will be spread throughout two theaters in New York City, The IFC Center and NYU Kimmel Center.
Some of these films are simply extraordinary, if you live in New York City, then I highly recommend that you check this film festival out.
