Full Frame Documentary Film Festival

The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is an annual international event dedicated to the exhibition of nonfiction cinema. Based in Durham, North Carolina, the festival gathers thousands of enthusiastic fans from around the globe to celebrate the documentary art form, engage in meaningful conversation, and experience the impact of exceptional nonfiction films firsthand. In light of the global pandemic, Full Frame will present an online showcase of documentary films to take place Thursday, April 7, through Sunday, April 10. Full Frame remains hopeful of the possibility of an in-person festival component in Durham, North Carolina, and will provide updates as more information is available. Full Frame’s 2022 program will feature a smaller lineup of new titles, approximately 20 features and 15 shorts. The festival will also present a variety of awards with cash prizes for the 2022 edition. More information will be available at the time of acceptance. The festival is a program of the Center for Documentary Studies, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), and serves as a qualifying festival for the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Documentary and the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. The Presenting Sponsor of the festival is Duke University.
