The US premiere of AJ Schnack’s Caucus will close AFI DOCS and Errol Morris will be honoured at the festival’s Charles Guggenheim Symposium for his contributions to the documentary genre. 

Festival organisers unveiled the full line-up on Wednesday [22]. As previously announced, Letters To Jackie will open the festival, set to run from Jun 19-23 in Washington DC.

All in all the event will present 53 films selected from 1,929 submissions representing 30 countries with three world, two North American, 1 US and six East Coast premieres.  

“2013 is a year filled with dynamic changes: After ten years, the festival previously known as Silverdocs is now AFI DOCS presented by Audi” said festival director Sky Sitney.

“AFI DOCS reflects that we have expanded to a new environment in downtown Washington DC which will be easily accessible to audiences eager to discover this year’s most compelling documentaries.
