But first, a message from this edition's sponsor:
GOOD JOB EVERYONE! We love a plucky upstart sticking it to the establishment. That’s why we built oh hi ♡ – our own, DIY dating app for cool and chill singles in NYC. Download the app, hook yourself up, and damn the man. We’re gonna have a good time →
The weather this weekend will be moody and serious, perfect for a dreamy, gloomy long walk through Lower Manhattan, your hands in your pockets and your collar fastened to your ears, as you make your way to a documentary screening (and maybe a $20 dinner after?).
If that's your ideal day, you're in luck: DOC NYC, which bills itself as "America's largest documentary festival," is back this year at three venues across Lower Manhattan (IFC Center, Village East, and the SVA Theater), running from this week through the end of the month.
At DOC NYC, you can see a bunch of documentaries that might never make it to theaters or streaming. Here are five docs (most with some connection to New York City) that we're not going to miss this year.
