The Documentary Organization of Canada / Documentaristes du Canada (DOC) is the collective voice of independent documentary filmmakers across Canada. It is a member driven organization dedicated to promoting, supporting and developing the art form of documentary filmmaking.

As a national non-profit association it advocates on behalf of its members to foster an environment conducive to documentary production and strives to strengthen the sector within the broader film production industry.

Since its inception as a political action group in 1983, DOC has continuously grown in numbers and influence. It has become a vigorous professional association, providing members with an important network of peers and supporting their professional development through workshops, mentorships, master classes and screenings.

Now representing over 850 directors, producers and craftspeople belonging to seven regional chapters, DOC endeavors to shape policy favorable to documentary production and distribution. In addition the association implements concrete, pragmatic initiatives like its Insurance Program and DOCspace to help lower costs of production in the case of the former and assist in distribution with the latter.
