Docs In Progress® has been organizing screenings of documentary works in progress since 2004. After screening each film, Docs In Progress representatives moderate a feedback session with the audience. This honest and constructive feedback is aimed at helping the filmmaker get to the next stage of completing and distributing the film.
Screenings are generally held in the Washington DC area (either Washington DC or Montgomery County, Maryland) every other month and in Baltimore and Greenbelt, MD once a year. Filmmakers and the general public are welcome to attend for a suggested donation.
These screenings are made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, The Documentary Center at the George Washington University in Washington DC, the Writer’s Center in Bethesda, the Charles Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity in Montgomery County, MD; Creative Alliance in Baltimore, the Utopia Film Festival in Greenbelt, and the Our City Film Festival in Washington DC.
