about doxa

DOXA is presented by the Documentary Media Society, a Vancouver based non-profit society (incorporated in 1998) composed of film and video makers, curators, and cultural workers devoted to presenting independent and innovative documentaries to Vancouver audiences. The society exists to broaden the audience for documentary film and video, and to broaden the definitions of documentary.

Mission Statement
The Documentary Media Society exists to foster community dialogue and critical discussion about world issues, shared experiences and cultural diversity, while exploring unique visions and innovations within the documentary form.

Goals

  • To present documentary films and videos to a broad audience through DOXA, a curated and juried festival, and on-going public screenings.
  • To foster community education through documentary media screenings, panels and workshops.
  • To present programming that provides a forum for the critical discussion and debate of both the form and the content of documentary.
  • To work in collaboration with a cross-section of people and cultural and community organisations.
  • To heighten awareness about perspectives not commonly given a voice by the mainstream media.

Values
The Documentary Media Society values: diversity, community, respect, collaboration, innovation and creativity.
