DOC Films - University of Chicago October 20, 2005

Doc Films is on record with the Museum of Modern Art as the longest continuously running student film society in the nation. In 1932, students formed the organization, which was then known as the Documentary Film Group, projecting 16mm documentaries from the back of a crowded classroom. Students have channeled their continuing love for the cinema into a world-class screening venue.

Providing an unquestioned resource to the University of Chicago and wider city community, Doc Films screens movies every night of the academic year, often showing movies that would not be shown elsewhere. Dedicated to providing a low-cost, high-quality venue for artistic, relevant and socially important domestic and international movies, Doc currently shows films at the Max Palevsky Cinema, 1212 East 59th Street.
