doxita is a traveling festival of documentary films that are under 40 minutes in length. The program, comprised of approximately ninety minutes of film, represents a wide variety of documentary – domestic and foreign, super-short and longer format, serious and funny. These filmmakers have crafted beautiful, and sometimes humorous, portraits of their subjects’ daily work through labor including Chinese jade mining, organic bread making in Edinburgh, Northwest US wood logging, shaved ice treats in Peru and a Pakistani tailor in Barcelona.
