DOC NYC 2026 Takes Over Greenwich Village and Chelsea Screens Through Nov. 19

DOC NYC, America's largest documentary film festival, is underway with its 17th annual edition. In-person screenings run in New York City from November 11 to 19, and virtual screenings continue online through November 29.

Venues include IFC Center and Village East by Angelika in Greenwich Village, along with SVA Theatre in Chelsea. At SVA Theatre, at 333 West 23rd Street, the festival is hosted on November 11, 12, 13 and 19, so the final in-person day there is still ahead.

Ticket and pass prices vary by screening and ticket type, and purchases go through DOC NYC. SVA Theatre does not run a box office before the festival begins and does not handle ticket or availability questions, which are directed to DOC NYC. Customer service is available Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern. A separate contact is set up for accessibility and accommodation requests.

For New Yorkers, the festival offers a chance to see new nonfiction work on a big screen in a city with a deep documentary tradition. Those who can't make it to a theater can still watch through the online screenings that run until November 29. The full program is listed on the DOC NYC website.
