WELCOME to Downtown DocFest

Belleville International Documentary Film Festival

March 2 – 3, 2012

Two days of outstanding films that celebrate life and human dignity
around the world and right here at home.

Featuring films from the World Community Film Festival

The Downtown DocFest organizing committee would like to extend a huge thank you to all our Presenting Partners, supporters, Film Sponsors, venues, Festival Pass sales outlets, our wonderful volunteers and—most importantly—everyone who came to watch the films, for making the first annual Belleville International Documentary Film Festival a huge success.

The total audience for this year exceeded 2000 viewers including 300 high school students who attended the Friday afternoon screenings and the sale of over 400 Festival Passes for the weekend. One screening on Saturday completely sold out necessitating the creative accommodation of our most determined movie-goers!

This overwhelming response shows just how much community spirit is present in Belleville. We have shown that we are far more than just a friendly city. We are a community committed to global awareness and social justice.

…and we really like our documentaries.

See you all again next year!

Dates and films for next year will be announced here soon!

Downtown DocFest is co-sponsored by the World Community Development Education Society.
