Full Frame Documentary Film Festival Unveils Lineup Led by ‘Girls State’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAddie Morfoot Contributor After a year-long hiatus the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival has unveiled the lineup for its 25th edition, which will take place in Durham, N.C., from April 4-7.
The festival will kick things off with “Girls State,” the Apple Original docu that premiered at Sundance earlier this year. It’s been five years since Full Frame, often referred to as “a filmmaker’s festival,” was held as an in-person event.
Full Frame was held entirely online for the 2020–22 festivals due to COVID-19. Then in 2023 the festival was put on hold last year due to financial struggles and leadership turnover at Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies (CDS), a nonprofit affiliate of the university that puts on the fest.
Notably, CDS executive director Opeyemi Olukemi resigned last year. As reported by The Assembly, Olukemi, who took the role in 2021, was criticized as the CDS staff shrank and a bulk of the documentary arts center’s programs, including Full Frame, were put on hiatus. “Since 2022, it was always the plan to only have the festival be on pause for one year,” says Emily Foster, Full Frame co-director. “Ultimately it was due to an overall strategic planning review that was happening at the center.” This year, the CDS will produce Full Frame in partnership with Duke venue and production management, the events and operations branch of the university.
