Screenings, workshops, and discussions which focus on telling local stories through the power of documentary film.
Docs In Progress is proud to be based in diverse, vibrant, and historic Montgomery County, Maryland just outside Washington DC. We also believe in the power of documentary to bring community together. Our eighth annual Community Stories Festival highlights the stories of people, places, and events from our local community. The festival is open to the public and gives local residents a chance to learn more about their communities and meet both the filmmakers and people featured in the films.
The festival features films made both professional and first-time filmmakers which spotlight people, places, history, and happenings from our local communities. Many of the filmmakers and people featured in the film will be there to answer questions. All of the screenings are free and open to the public (though we strongly recommend getting tickets in advance to guarantee a seat).
In addition, we are offering several modestly-priced community filmmaking workshops including one on how to create family legacy videos and another on smartphone filmmaking.
All screenings and salons are free and open to the public, but we strongly recommend getting tickets in advance to guarantee a seat.
Workshops have a modest fee. See website for details.
Venues include AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, Takoma Park Community Center, Sandy Spring Museum, and Docs In Progress.
