DOC NYC is proud to partner with the Consulate General of Canada in New York on a curated Voices of Canada Industry program which will bring a delegation of Canadian producers with documentary feature-length or series works-in-progress to participate in the DOC NYC festival, DOC NYC PRO Industry conference, and Industry Roundtables.
This program presents an opportunity for Canadian producers with works-in-progress (features or series) to present live pitches with industry figures from relevant fields (e.g. distribution, financing, publicity, marketing, social impact, and more). The program aims to curate the most promising documentaries of the future for industry consideration and selects projects from a competitive pool of online submissions.
Voices of Canada Industry Roundtables take place in-person at the General Consulate of Canada in New York on Fri. Nov. 14, 2025. Selected Canadian projects receive DOC NYC Industry badges and the opportunity to attend DOC NYC PRO. Submitted works-in-progress must have at least 50% of their budget already in place. The applicant must be a Canadian-controlled company within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act and have its head office in Canada.
Note that this program is not intended for films making their public screening debut at DOC NYC. Film teams that wish to have their films considered for DOC NYC’s festival line-up should submit their projects at the main DOC NYC submission page: https://filmfreeway.com/DOCNYC.
Applications are free of charge and close on Fri. Aug. 8, 2025.
