Doc10 Film Festival

Mark your calendars: May 1- May 4, 2025 for the 10th Doc10 at The Davis and The Siskel Film Center. Doc10 is Chicago’s only all-documentary film festival and provides an engaging experience for its audiences, reaching thousands of local cinephiles over the last nine years. Now in its 10th year, Doc10 has firmly set its place in Chicago’s cultural scene. Each year over four days and evenings, the Festival screens the 10 best documentaries, culled from Sundance, Tribeca, Hot Docs, DOC NYC and other top-tier festivals across the nation. This is the first, and often exclusive, opportunity for Chicagoans to see extraordinary films. Twenty of the 50+ films Doc10 premiered have been shortlisted or nominated for Academy Awards. Doc10 is powered by CMP. CMP’s mission is to support social-impact, non-fiction films to illustrate the power of storytelling to entertain, ignite debate, inspire action and activate audiences.
