The 16th edition of the Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival (ICDOCS) will be held April 18-20, 2019. 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 and experimental filmmaking. We seek innovative new works of 30 minutes or less that both complicate and expand upon conventional approaches to nonfiction and documentary.

Cosmic Rays is an annual celebration of non-commercial short films that extend the idea of film as art. 

We welcome short work (20 minutes or less) that:

• Experiments with the formal possibilities of film and video.
• Explores hybrid forms and the hard-to-describe spaces between filmmaking modes and genres.
• Speaks with a personal or poetic voice, or explores novel ways of telling stories.
• Eschews convention and commerce.
• Has utopian aspirations and weird friends.

FLAMIN Productions is the only scheme of its kind in the UK. It commissions new, important and substantial moving image artworks that are ambitious in premise and duration, with an emphasis on projects that have strong potential for national and international exhibition and distribution.
