Dialogues Documentary Festival

Dialogues Documentary Festival (Sept. 18 – 21, 2025) will celebrate the power of documentary filmmaking to open conversations and expand minds.

Over four days we will present 30+ film programs at our two year-round cinema venues (the Oriental and Downer Theatres) and extend many of those films with in-cinema talkbacks and panels immediately following the screening. Films will explore themes and topics that are timely and relevant to our communities and audiences.
