About Fresh Docs


Fresh Docs is SDF’s free monthly work-in-progress screening series. In Durham, NC, Fresh Docs are hosted at the Full Frame Theater in partnership with the Center for Documentary Studies. We also facilitate our Fresh Docs series at film festivals across the South. These screenings give documentary filmmakers an opportunity to show their work fresh from the edit suite, and receive constructive feedback on story, structure, and characters from a diverse audience. As a result, not only do our artists make better films, but SDF grows documentary audiences by engaging them meaningfully in the creative process.
