Each spring, Full Frame welcomes thousands of filmmakers and film lovers from around the world to historic downtown Durham, North Carolina, for a four-day celebration of documentary screenings and events.
The festival provides a space that nurtures conversation between artists, students, and audience members and inspires the next generation of storytellers through programs like Teach the Teachers and Full Frame Fellows.
Full Frame brings free documentary films to the region with the Full Frame Road Show, which runs July through November at venues throughout the Triangle.
Full Frame is a vibrant thread in the cultural fabric of Durham.
Since 1998, Full Frame has convened an engaged and enthusiastic audience in support of documentary arts. As a major cultural event in the region, the festival has become an important economic driver for the city of Durham, generating around $2 million annually for local businesses.
