About Docs in Orbit
Docs in Orbit is an artist-led, transnational podcast for independent, creative non-fiction filmmakers. We offer in-depth conversations centered around the creative process, paying close attention to diverse forms present in contemporary non-fiction cinema, the challenges filmmakers encounter as they work with the moving image, and modern approaches to film curation.
We seek to provide a nourishing space for artists to explore new works that move them and facilitate meaningful exchanges and cross-cultural connections.
Since launching in April 2020, we have produced over 60 episodes and served as the premiere podcast to interview filmmakers debuting new works in international film festivals, including Jessica Beshir (Faya Dayi, Sundance 2021), Payal Kapadia (A Night of Knowing Nothing, Cannes 2021) and Shaunak Sen (All That Breathes, Sundance 2022).
We offer our content free across several platforms so that it is accessible to everyone. We are also deeply invested in remaining independent as we explore equitable ways of co-creation.
