Documentary cinema does not live only on screens. It also lives in inboxes.
Every week, thousands of filmmakers, producers, programmers, journalists and documentary lovers receive curated newsletters that summarize the most important developments in nonfiction storytelling. From festival announcements and funding opportunities to deep reflections about the craft of documentary filmmaking, these newsletters have become essential tools for anyone who wants to stay connected to the global documentary ecosystem.
Some focus on industry news and financing. Others offer thoughtful criticism and curated recommendations of films to watch. Together they form a fascinating map of how the documentary world thinks, produces and evolves.

The Story of the Pig by Jan Vromman
In our food, in our rituals, in our speech... the pig and everything it symbolizes have been part of us since the beginning of humanity. But why has the pig been such an important animal to us? Director Jan Vromman invites us to a satirical and intelligent journey through the history of the pig, an experience where we end up knowing more about ourselves than about our little and - for those who are not vegetarians- delicious animal friend.
149th And Grand Concourse by Carolyn and Andy London
This short documentary is a provocation to smile. Conceived as a kind of animated musical, these three minutes will take us out of our boredom immediately as we become passers-by at one of the most significant intersections of the Bronx, New York, where street objects sing colorful songs in the voices of the neighborhood's inhabitants.
The Hanging by Geoffrey Feinberg
This documentary is full of pure Adrenaline. Kirill is a young boy nicknamed "the Russian spiderman" for making stunts on the roofs of the buildings of Moscow, a sport called "roofing". In this short film, the American director Geoffrey Feinberg follows Kirill through the buildings and streets of Moscow to discover the nature of this lifestyle and to discover how "roofing" helps the young Russian achieve his essence.
