Mimesis Documentary Festival

Artist-focused, community-oriented, and committed to showcasing the infinite potential of nonfiction media, the third annual Mimesis Documentary Festival, August 2-7, 2022, in Boulder, Colorado, is an immersive theatrical and virtual slate of movies, workshops, and more with artists, producers, and scholars from around the world. Presented in conjunction with Boulder’s Dairy Arts Center and the B2 Center for Media, Arts, and Performance, the festival brings together six days of screenings, installation-based documentary art pieces, workshops, and conversations with some of the most dynamic voices in documentary media exploring contemporary international culture.

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.
