Description

THE 14TH ANNUAL IC DOCS WILL BE HELD APRIL 20-22, 2017.

The Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival (IC DOCS) is an annual event run by students at the University of Iowa. Our mission is to engage local audiences with the exhibition of recent short films that explore the boundaries of nonfiction filmmaking.

The Saturday 3pm show will be Azadeh Navai's juror program, which will be a collection of her work.
