Doc.Boston 2024
Doc.Boston Wraps Up 4th Edition, Announces Award Winners
"The 2024 edition of Doc.Boston offered a compelling journey through diverse narratives” says festival curator Kris De Meester, “from an intimate portrait of an artist, to an observational view of remote life near the Bering Sea, the haunting testimonies of incarcerated ISIS soldiers, and the quirks of the oddest roommates. This year's lineup was engaging, provocative, and enriching, providing audiences with a thought-provoking and immersive experience in documentary filmmaking."
The official selection included 25 documentary films from the U.S, Canada, Spain, Poland, France, UK, Belgium, Norway, Greece and Chine. (the OFF ON Selection, remains available for streaming until July 28, more info on https://www.doc.boston/off-on-selection-streaming).
