IFI Documentary Festival 2026, the annual celebration of non-fiction filmmaking, will take place from Wednesday 23rd to Sunday 27th September. From the thrilling to the thoughtful, from the historical to the topical, this brilliant selection of films showcases a diverse range of topics told with candour, artistry and a profound humanity. Documentary, as a form, has never been more popular or vital, and the numerous Q&As and panel discussions will deepen audiences' engagement with the films and the artists who create them. With 13 feature documentaries which include 7 Irish premieres, 2 shorts programmes, and a public-facing industry panel illuminating the challenging landscape of documentary filmmaking today. The 2026 festival will open with the Irish premiere of Bucks Harbor, Pete Muller's beautifully observed film exploring the inner lives of a generation of fishermen on the northeastern coast of the United States.
