Celebrating independence, creativity, and the researcher in all of us, the What It Is: Documentary Film Festival is a three-day festival that presents both short and feature-length documentaries from across the world.
The What It Is: Documentary Film Festival is hosted around the Olympia, Washington downtown area, mainly inside the Capitol Theater, a 1924 concert and movie palace owned and operated by the Olympia Film Society. This organization supports a small staff and board of directors along with over 125 dedicated volunteers who select films, organize events, and run the Capitol Theater.
