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.
Here are some of the most influential documentary newsletters in the world today.
It's not fiction: most of the content we consume on a daily basis is displayed on vertical screens. Obviously, this phenomenon is thanks to the vast world of cell phone apps. Snapchat has been one of the pioneers in creating vertical content for its audience. For this list, Guidedoc has chosen the three best docuseries to watch on Snapchat.
