Double Exposure Investigative Film Festival & Symposium

Double Exposure, a project of the investigative news organization 100Reporters, celebrates the finest new films inspired by the investigative instinct. It combines film screenings for the public with a professional symposium for journalists and visual storytellers. 

The unique mission that launched Double Exposure 10 years ago, to celebrate and support work at the crossroads of investigative journalism and visual storytelling, feels more timely than ever. The finest investigative films have a unique power to create understanding and connection across cultural, economic, physical borders--something we hold onto in these turbulent times. 

Within our broad programming, DX2025, Oct 30-Nov 2, will center short docs, celebrating their immediacy, versatility, and potential impact. We'll have panels and workshops for filmmakers working in the short doc space, networking for journalism organizations eager to connect with documentary filmmakers, and an expanded slate of short documentaries. Stay tuned for more on special events and the 2025 festival theme.
