About Doc Screen
Doc Screen is an initiative run by Scottish Documentary Institute in partnership with Filmhouse aiming to bring more independent documentaries into the cinema and to open up spaces for political and creative forms of expression, debate and solidarity.
With the support of Film Hub Scotland, we embark on this journey in Edinburgh, with the reopening of the much-loved Filmhouse, as part of our broader aim to champion and enhance the distribution of documentaries in Scotland. By working collaboratively with the filmmaking community and with Scotland-based exhibitors, we co-curate and facilitate a regular provision of local and international independent documentaries that rarely get screened otherwise.
Doc Screen is a part of a growing network of organisations with a mission to screen independent docs, sharing a belief that documentary can (and does) change the world. Documentary is urgent, inclusive, challenging and moving. Documentary is cinema and it is irresistible.

Supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, awarding funding on behalf of Screen Scotland and the BFI National Lottery.
October programme, 8-28 Oct / Keep looking
A programme that investigates what it means to be a witness or a protagonist in on-going war, conflict and violence. Through a lens pointed towards the sky, the moon, the computer screen or to the flowers, the films in this programme invite you, as an audience member, to keep looking and keep criticising, even when the media stops reporting. Rather than a spectacle of suffering, these films open up a broader perspective on past and current events, and a chance to follow a journey that imagines a new future that is feminist, queer, and free of all the unwanted -isms.
November programme, 5-29 Nov / Who We Are
Words disappear from dictionaries, traditions slowly fade away, indigenous languages gradually get lost. We need to document, to remember, to be curious and to celebrate what makes who we are. Our Doc Screen November programme focuses on our deep connection to nature, the shared rituals and communities that shape our identities and views of the world. From the intimacy of smoke saunas in Estonia to the different voices and landscapes across the UK throughout the seasons, and from coastal Scottish towns to the Andes of Peru, we’re welcoming people of all ages to embark on this journey, and maybe even join a sing-a-long!
Who We Are @ Filmhouse programme for young audiences (26-29 November) is curated by Caireen Stuart through the New Producer Scheme supported by Film Hub Scotland.
