LDNDOCS Festival Announces 2026 Lineup Stacked With Documentary Luminaries And Rising Talents

LDNDOCS will hold its second festival in central London from 20 to 22 November, screening 14 new documentary features. The programme brings established filmmakers and emerging talent together, reflecting a strong year for documentaries and the festival’s aim to build audiences for the form.

The lineup includes films from Oscar winners and nominees Barbara Kopple, Sara Dosa and Poh Si Teng, alongside Emmy winners Amir Bar-Lev and Stephen Maing. It opens with *Once Upon a Time in Harlem*, conceived and filmed by the late William Greaves and completed more than 50 years later by his son David. Screenings at Curzon Bloomsbury Cinema, Bertha DocHouse and Garden Cinema will be followed by discussions with directors and guests.
