Docs by the Sea is an annual international program by In-Docs, Indonesia, dedicated to supporting Asian documentary filmmakers through film labs and pitching forums. Launched in 2017 in partnership with Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf RI, formerly BEKRAF), the program has collaborated with a range of international partners to elevate Southeast Asian documentary projects on the global stage. In 2022, it expanded its submissions to filmmakers from across Asia.
