The 2022 Mimesis Documentary Festival is a nonprofit project of the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Documentary and Ethnographic Media to help secure and promote Colorado’s place in a local, regional, and international community of documentary creators and scholars. We are artist-centered, community-driven, and dedicated to promoting diversity and transparency. We are committed to programming 80% of projects from open submissions, offering complimentary virtual screening passes to all artists, and waiving submission and entry fees for University of Colorado Boulder students.
The Mimesis Documentary Festival is brought to life by generous contributions from the University of Colorado’s College of Media, Communication, and Information, the Departments of Anthropology and Critical Media Practices, the Research and Innovation Office, and by the ongoing support of festival partners and individual donors.
