Almost every month, Docs In Progress and Women in Film and Video-DC co-host the Documentary Roundtable. Usually held on the second Monday of every month (except when holidays conflict), these free meetings switch off between Washington DC and Silver Spring. The Washington DC meetings organized by WIFV are focused on getting expert advice on topics related to documentary filmmaking while the Silver Spring meetings organized by Docs In Progress are focused on peer feedback.
Documentary Roundtable meetings are free for members of WIFV or Docs In Progress Docs Insider Premium, Corporate, and All-Access Members. They are $10 for all others.
