The
Documentary Film Group, better known as
Doc Films, is a student-operated
film society at the
University of Chicago,
Illinois, United States. It is—according to a 2007
Chicago Tribune article—"the longest-running collegiate film society in the country" and may be the oldest film society of any kind in the United States. Formed in 1932 as a group of students who gathered to screen
documentary films, it officially adopted the name International House Documentary Film Group in 1940. It has since expanded both the genres it screens and the activities it sponsors.
