Don't Miss DocWeek in Middleburg!

DocWeek is an annual film festival that takes place the third week of May, in Middleburg, Virginia. From Tuesday through Saturday, one film per day is shown at sunset, in an outdoor amphitheater setting, weather permitting, at the Middleburg Community Center. Doc Week features ONLY documentaries and is committed to limiting the audience to 150 viewers, ensuring an intimate, local community event. At a time when political discourse has become too often acrimonious, our goal is to bring together neighbors to share educational and often inspiring films and to encourage communication and highlight shared values.

This year's festival is from May 17th-21st. Click here to purchase your tickets now!
