Doxita is a festival of documentary short films that are under 40 minutes in length. The program, comprised of approximately 90 minutes of film, represents a wide variety of documentary - domestic and foreign, short and longer format, serious and funny. It is designed to profile the great content and artistic vision that non-fiction short films provide, but that people don't get a chance to see.
