The True/False Film Festival is an annual documentary film festival open to all documentary films. The festival highlights innovative work with a cinematic scope, creative takes on contemporary currents, and most of all work that provokes dialogue about its subject and the documentary form itself. The festival encourages submissions that cross the boundary between fact and fiction. Most films come freshly discovered from Sundance, Toronto and other festivals, others appear mysteriously before their official premieres elsewhere. The attendance of the festival rapidly grew from 4,200 people in its first year to around 38,000 in 2012.
