Castlemaine Documentary Festival

Next date: Friday, 26 June 2026 | 11:00 AM to Sunday, 28 June 2026 | 11:00 PM

The annual Castlemaine Documentary Festival, affectionately known as CDoc, is held over three nights and two days.

This mid-winter weekend event of films and parties is a vibrant regional celebration of nonfiction storytelling, known for its intimate atmosphere and sharp curatorial eye.

Held in the historic Theatre Royal, it brings filmmakers and audiences together for screenings, conversations, and community events that feel genuinely collaborative. The festival champions bold, socially engaged documentaries from Australia and beyond, often pairing films with panel discussions that deepen their impact.

And don't miss the ever-popular LOCALS program and the Community House pop-up kitchen.
