#DOCNYCalum: CITIZEN KOCH at IFC Center

We love keeping in touch with our alum filmmakers, so follow us on Twitter and friend us on Facebook so you can stay up to date as well.

***Our regular deadline for DOC NYC has passed, but you still have a few opportunities to submit for DOC NYC 2014. Check our submission page for all you need to know.

CITIZEN KOCH (DOC NYC 2013) opens at IFC Center Friday June 6.

The Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling lifted a century-long ban on corporate election spending. Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water) track its effects by following the standoff between Wisconsin state employees and Republican Governor Scott Walker, who was bankrolled by billionaire industrialists David and Charles Koch. Tickets here.

And watch the DOC NYC Q&A with directors Carl Deal, Tia Lessin and special guest Michael Moore.

TINY (DOC NYC 2013) out on DVD next week.

A couple sets out to construct a livable 130-square foot house—no bigger than a standard parking space—part of a growing movement that is conscious of our environmental impact and rethinks our need for more and more stuff. They reflect on sustainable design, material culture and what is truly essential to make a house a home. Info here.
