From the President

The Paley Center for Media has a deep commitment to documentaries. We believe in the power of this art form to inspire and to tell stories in a way that captures the imagination and expands our horizons. This year's PALEYDOCFEST will once again give you an opportunity to see new documentaries, with a selection of innovative, important films, some of which will have their NY premiere in our theaters. And what makes the PALEYDOCFEST experience even more compelling is the presence of the filmmakers and sometimes the film subjects, who share their experiences and interact with our audiences. I hope you will check out our schedule of groundbreaking films and join us for one of our favorite fall rituals...celebrating documentaries and the people who make them and who appreciate them.
