Atlanta Documentary Film Festival held annually in March in Atlanta, Georgia

March 19 - 22, 2026 at Synchronicity Theatre

Two Decades of Docs That Matter

ATL DOC, formerly Atlanta Docufest, is the Southeast’s longest running documentary film festival. For more than twenty years, the festival has been a place for films that tell the truth, start conversations, and bring people together.

ATL DOC celebrates twenty one years of documentary filmmaking that moves people and sparks new ideas. We bring local work and global stories to the screen each March in Atlanta.

We focus on independent documentaries that push the form and explore real life from many angles. We program documentary features, documentary shorts, student films, and Made in Georgia projects. The lineup includes true stories, investigative work, arts films, experimental docs, and films that blur the lines between forms. If you’re looking for documentary film festivals in Atlanta, ATL DOC is where filmmakers and audiences meet each year.
