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.
While gender identities continue to be a space of permanent construction, documentary filmmaking consolidates as an essential means to show the world the experiences of people who, despite obstacles and social prejudices, assume the fascinating challenge of rediscovering themselves and fight for their rights in today's society.
In this list, Guidedoc presents three documentaries about transsexual people that you can watch online. In case you didn't know, Guidedoc is a global curated documentary streaming platform. You can watch the world's best award-winning docs from around the world. We have new movies every day.
In The Turn by Erica Tremblay
When she was only five years old, Crystal thought seriously about taking her own life. Having been born in the body of a boy, Crystal was three years old when she said that her true gender was female. Supported by her mother to face her transition, at school Crystal faced a hostile environment, where constant harassment led her to consider giving up her own life. But the discovery of the queer collective of Roller Derby "Vagime Regime" means for Crystal – now a ten-year-old child - the opportunity to belong to a sports team where freedom and respect for life are the main values.

The Wardrobe of Gender by Max Joakim Diezenberg
Are we only allowed to express ourselves as women or men? To what extent does nature play a preponderant role in sexual or gender inclination? This documentary presents three young Dutch people who have left behind the social impositions to listen to what their bodies had to tell them. Watching The Wardrobe of Gender is to look at three little stories that represent one of the most exciting human quests in history, where gender and identity are ambiguous items in constant transformation.
