NOTE: This article is an updated version of last March's Daang Dokyu Film Festival guide last March. The festival is now geared up for its online version, which is happening from September 19 to November 5, 2020. 

Dubbed as a "Festival of Philippine Documentaries," the Daang Dokyu Film Festival 2020 is set to showcase numerous documentaries by Filipino filmmakers from the early days of Philippine cinema and television to contemporary times.

Daang Dokyu is organized by the FilDocs (Filipino Documentary Society), an organization comprised of Filipino documentarians aiming to "elevate the appreciation of documentaries and push documentary filmmaking in the Philippines." Its founders, filmmakers Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala, Baby Ruth Villarama, Jewel Maranan and Monster Jimenez, also serve as Festival Directors of the festival.

Festival run and venue

Daang Dokyu Film Festival opened last September 19 with "Martial Law, Never Again", a section highlighting Filipino documentaries about the Martial Law. The festival will run until November 5, 2020.

The first edition of Daang Dokyu will be available for viewing online, an updated effort from its original theater set-up last March. In lieu of a physical cinema, Daang Dokyu will have a virtual venue (daangdokyu.com/watchnow) for its audience which will be available starting October 2.
