Iowa City for Breadmakers

Breadmakers was recently screened at the Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival.

ICDOCS is an annual festival committed to engaging their Iowa audience with the world at large through films that explore the boundaries of documentary and non-fiction filmmaking. The festival showcases independent, high-quality short non-fiction films from around the world, providing valuable screen time for rarely seen work, as well as providing the community the opportunity to see movies they would usually not get to see.

ICDOCS was founded in 2001 with the mission of serving as a catalyst for positive change and fostering dialogue on a range of contemporary issues, both international and local. They are a non-profit, all volunteer-run organisation whose board of directors programmes approximately 10 hours of short works in competition for a ‘Best of the Festival’ award as well as other cash prizes, and sponsors special out-of-competition screenings and events, including screenings by distinguished jurors.

In 2008, ICDOCS teamed up with the Mission Creek Midwest Festival in order to provide a weeklong event showcasing literature, music, and film.
