Description

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

This program is sponsored by the Bijou Film Board.

Laura Iancu is a visual artist working primarily in hybrid video forms and immersive 3D animation & gaming, with an expanded practice of painting, installation, photography, and graphic design. She is currently teaching film production classes at Virginia Tech, and is an alumnus of the MFA program in UI's Department of Cinematic Arts.
