2025 Lunenburg Doc Fest
Atlantic Canada’s leading documentary festival and forum
12th Edition - September 17-21, 2025
Lunenburg Doc Fest is here to entertain, educate, and inspire by showcasing the art of documentary filmmaking.
We create a cultural connection between audiences and artists in the beautiful town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Lunenburg is a picture perfect coastal town with a long heritage. It is a UNESCO site rich with art and a history in boatbuilding and fishing.
The festival was established in 2013 to usher in new voices in storytelling while also celebrating established documentary filmmakers. Each September, Lunenburg Doc Fest brings together the audience and the artists … the industry and the sponsors … for a long weekend of groundbreaking full-length and short films.
