doxita is a traveling festival of documentary films that are under 40 minutes in length.  The program, comprised of approximately two hours of film, represents a wide variety of documentary – domestic and foreign, super-short and longer format, serious and funny.  It is designed to profile the great content and artistic vision that non-fiction short films provide, but that people don’t often get a chance to see.  "The Hours of Our Lives " The 1st annual doxita features the following films: Vángelo Monzón (Argentina/Sweden, Andréas Lennartsson, 8 min.) - A visit with Vángelo Monzón who's been making bricks in Argentina since he was a boy. Cross your Eyes, Keep them Wide (USA, Ben Wu, 23 min.) - An invitation into the San Francisco "Creativity Explored," a work space for artists with development disablilities. The Guarantee (USA, Jesse Epstein, 10 min.) - Through animated drawings, a man tells how he considered plastic surgery for his ballet career. El Cerco (Spain, Ricardo Iscar/Nacho Martin, 16 min. ) - A breathtaking look at tuna fishing in the Mediterranean sea where the fight is a ritual of blood and death. Martin Thomas (UK/Wales, Dylan Wyn Thomas, 31 min. ) - The sometimes painful yet ultimately joyous journey of one man's quest to stop his stammer. Shit and Chicks (The Netherlands, Kees van der Geest, 10 min. ) - A portrait of a traditional method of feeding chickens in Ghana, done with gentle restraint. info@docuphilemedia.com | 917.743.6935		Upcoming screenings Sept 18 : Northwest Film Forum, Seattle, WA Date TBA: Jacob Burns Film Center , Pleasantville, NY Date TBA: Miami Beach Cinematheque, Miami Beach, FL   Past screenings February 7: Durham Arts Council, Durham, NC February 15: Space Gallery, Portland, ME February 22: Webster University, St. Louis, MO March 8-9: Pickford Cinema, Bellingham, WA April 23 : Michael Rabinger Center for Documentary, Columbia College, Chicago, IL May 4-5: Aurora Picture Show, Houston, TX May 12: IFC Center, New York, NY June 9-10: Harris Theater , Pittsburgh, PA
