Iowa City Documentary Film Festival Returns for its 21st Year of Experimental Cinema
The Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival (ICDOCS) celebrates its return to Iowa City for its 21st year. ICDOCS is a student-run experimental documentary film festival running from April 23rd through the 26th. With completely free admission, ICDOCS welcomes all who love avant-garde cinema and want to expand their horizons of non-fiction filmmaking.
“Each year that we run this festival it has gotten bigger, more ambitious as students’ ideas about community outreach grow,” says Festival Director Laura Gede. “Bringing together the Iowa City community over free international cinema is an immense joy and I can’t wait to share what our class and collaborators have put together.”
ICDOCS:
Will feature 8 competitive shorts screenings, a collaborative screening with Bijou and Film Scene of documentary filmmaker Khalik Allah’s films, a talk with Khalik Allah at the Stanley Art Museum, the Open Screen Film Festival of community and student work, a late night screening and DJ set at FilmScene, coffee talks with visiting filmmakers, two juror screenings from JJ Martinod and Anna Hogg, and a special screening from filmmaker Rhayne Vermette.
