About Club CDoc
Club CDoc is our vibrant, year-round extension of the festival for documentary lovers and documentary makers! It evolved alongside the Castlemaine Documentary Festival to provide ongoing activities that support a shared space between filmmakers and our community.
Delivering filmmaking workshops, pop-up screenings, guest presentations, networking opportunities and social events, Club CDoc aims to nurture and enrich our vibrant arts community through the lens of documentary.
Club CDoc Social

Testimonials
“What a treat to spend a weekend in beautiful Castlemaine, and then transported to other places and times through the stories of such talented film makers.
This festival felt big and small at the same time – bringing the world and its issues to the Theatre Royal, while also creating a wonderful sense of intimacy and inclusion with the many before and after sessions.
We’re sold, and will be back in 2023.”
— Clare from Alphington, Festival goer
“Being part of the C-Doc LOCALS OPening Night event in 2022 was such a positive experience.
Not only was it great to have the local people I’d filmed be able to attend and see themselves on the big screen, but it was inspiring to see just how many other creative people are making work and with this event, have a chance for it to be seen publicly in such a celebratory way”
— Mitch Nivalis, LOCALS entrant
“I had an absolute ball up in Castlemaine.
That opening night was a real winner. I was sitting next to family and friends of the filmmakers and they couldn’t be more excited and proud. I really hope that event is kept up in some way each year. Such a wonderful way to bring the community together.
And that filmmakers lunch was excellent as well. I connected with new filmmakers and renewed old relationships. Thanks so much for putting on such a wonderful event.
— Jeff Daniels, Media Professional
