DOC NYC, the annual festival of documentary films running November 12-19, gets more expansive each year, opening up its program to include short and long pieces, episodic television, and even leaving room for a dedicated program of legacy films. It’s a festival that looks forward and backward, even if there are dominant, and sometimes overbearing, themes and modes that snake through the lineup. To help you maneuver through the long list of films, we’ve selected some things you shouldn’t miss, leaning heavily on the many outstanding documentaries focused on music and dance, along with a stunning portrait of one of the greatest films of all time.
