Unorthodocs is back for its fourth year October 23–30 in a virtual form with longer viewing windows for most films and a pay-what-you-can pricing structure, so you can explore the possibilities of creative nonfiction filmmaking from the comfort of your home and on your own schedule, without breaking the bank. And for most films, your ticket purchase will also include a new, exclusive interview with the filmmaker.

Starting with an electrifying presentation from filmmaker Nina Menkes about the relationship between sex and power in Hollywood as portrayed on film, this year's festival is focused on issues that are top of mind at this moment: protest, governing, corruption, climate change, and more. The trailers below provide a preview of what you can see. More details on this year's selections are available here.
