Docs In Progress believes in the power of documentary films to bring communities together and why Community Stories is such a successful home-grown event.

 

2024 Community Stories Film Festival was our first festival where we returned in person and filmmakers and filmlovers could come together.  Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success.  And a special shoutout to our Festival Sponsors who made it possible.  Thank you!
