The Doc Edge, formerly DOCNZ International Documentary Film Festival or simply DOCNZ Film Festival, and then Documentary Edge Festival, is New Zealand's Academy Award-qualifying international documentary film festival, run annually by the Documentary New Zealand Trust since 2005.
The first Documentary Edge Festival, previously known as DOCNZ International Documentary Film Festival, or simply DOCNZ Film Festival, was launched in 2005 in Auckland[1] by the then Prime Minister, Helen Clark.[citation needed]
The Festival was rebranded as Documentary Edge Festival in 2010,[2] and has been branded Doc Edge since around 2016.[1]
Traditionally held in May to June in Auckland and Wellington theatres, the festival chose to pivot during the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, taking the full festival online with a video-on-demand platform provided by Shift72,[3] opening up to a nationwide audience for the first time and increasing the size of the programme.[1]
