An all-day-long celebration and exploration of documentary cinema, in all its creative aspects & industry ramifications, as well as in the infinite ways the documentary genre questions and echoes our lives & shifting realities.
Doc Day offers a carefully curated line-up of keynotes, masterclasses and panel discussions with today’s most inspiring documentary filmmakers and professionals, followed by the Docs-in-Progress Awards Ceremony and our Doc Day Mixer — a festive, love-filled cocktail designed to bring together the entire documentary community in Cannes.
Finally, as tradition has it, Doc Day ends with a special closing screening, presented in partnership with ACID Cannes, renowned for its passion for documentary cinema.
See below to explore the full lineups of all past Doc Day editions since its launch in 2016. This year’s Doc Day program will be unveiled just a few days before the start of Cannes Docs 2026.
