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

DOC NYC, billed as America's largest documentary film festival, is back for its 17th annual edition. In-person screenings run in New York City from Nov. 11 through 19, and virtual screenings continue online through Nov. 29.

Venues include IFC Center and Village East by Angelika in Greenwich Village, along with SVA Theatre in Chelsea. SVA Theatre, at 333 West 23rd Street, hosts the festival on four days: Nov. 11, 12, 13 and 19.

Tickets and passes are sold through DOC NYC, with prices varying by screening and pass type. SVA Theatre does not handle ticket information or availability, and it does not run a box office before the festival begins, so questions about tickets go straight to the festival.

The full list of programs is posted on the DOC NYC website. The festival also lists separate email contacts for ticketing and passes, accessibility and accommodations, and general questions. Customer service is staffed Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern.

The in-person run is short, at nine days, and the online window that follows lasts another ten. Those who can't make it to a theater can still catch part of the lineup from home.
