Double Exposure is the United States’ first and only film festival dedicated to investigative reporting on film. It pairs four days of film screenings with a professional symposium that brings together watchdog journalists and filmmakers venturing into investigative storytelling.
We’re thrilled to part the curtain on Double Exposure’s ninth season, running from November 2-5, starting with the DX Symposium lineup. This year’s edition at the newly-renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC brings you timely conversations, skill-building workshops, master classes, one-on-one meetings, and–after long years of distance–plenty of opportunities to kick back with friends and colleagues.
From discussions about the use of A.I. deepfakes in filmmaking, to a masterclass on fictionalizing investigative stories, this year’s symposium lineup is packed with compelling sessions you won’t want to miss.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the intriguing sessions waiting for you at Double Exposure.

(Hint: it’s not pretty.)
