The future ain’t coming… it’s already here. Tap in.
#NahNevermindPodcast #FullFrame #UNC #FilmCulture #NCFilm Storytellers NextUp

It’s hard to say who looked more excited at Pass Pickup, Festival Co-Director Sadie Tillery or the Full Frame Fellows from Spelman College!

Full Frame Fellows enjoy a unique festival experience including Master Classes with leading filmmakers in addition to numerous film screenings. 🎥

If you were a Full Frame Fellow this year, tell us your favorite thing about the experience!

Thanks to Duke Student Affairs for its myriad support leading up to and during the festival—including developing our digital tickets in 2026 and staffing our new help desk.  And thanks (as always) to our colleagues in the Duke University Box Office and Venue & Production Management for the time and care they take to ensure our attendees have the smoothest possible festival experience!

How many times did you see this year’s trailer? Tell us in the comments! (We’re genuinely curious!)

The 2026 trailer was created by Horizon Productions and tells the story of the role sponsors play in building the festival. We love the flickering golden dust and the blocks’ warm glow, and the sound design is pretty magical.

Thank you, @_horizonvp!

Creating a space where people can gather in shared support of the arts is our passion. We’re so thankful for the A.J. Fletcher Foundation’s multi-year commitment to Full Frame, which makes it possible to bring these spaces into being each spring.

The Full Frame Fellows program invites college students from across the region to partake in all the festival has to offer. Plus, they enjoy a very special perk—Master Classes with leading documentary filmmakers. Director Sam Green, whose film THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD was Full Frame’s 2026 Opening Night Film, led one of this year’s sessions.

Learn more about the program under the “Education” tab at fullframefest.org!

We’d like to thank our long-time sponsor @saladeliacafe + @madhatterdurham for nourishing our Fellows and staff (and keeping our patrons caffeinated!) throughout the festival. 🥪 🍪 ☕️

Full Frame’s Speakeasy Conversation series takes place at The Durham Hotel on Friday and Saturday of every festival.The Durham Hotel feels like the city’s living room, making it the perfect place for this informal series that’s free and open to the public.

Jameka Autry, who produced TIME AND WATER, and Amir Bar-Lev, the director of THE LAST FIRST: WINTER K2, teamed up to host one of the four Speakeasies, “Filmmaker vs Filmmaker: Only One Shall Survive.” Contrary to the title, the conversation focused on supporting one another and cultivating power in the documentary community.

How amazing is it that the entirety of Full Frame takes place across just a couple city blocks?

There is a lot to see and experience at Full Frame, and we’re grateful for the sponsorship of the Durham Marriott City Center, which puts our guests in the middle of the festival action.

Full Frame's volunteers make our festival possible by contributing their time and diverse talents. They manage venues, distribute passes, scan tickets, capture photo and video, and set up and break down every part of the festival landscape, among many other jobs. If you spot a gold-colored Full Frame shirt around Durham in the coming year, give the person wearing it a high five and a "thank you"— we couldn't have a festival without our volunteers!

We are thankful for The Forest at Duke’s sponsorship of our Volunteer Team.
