The American Documentary and Animation Film Festival (AmDocs) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, operating under a fiscal sponsorship from the Inquring Systems Inc. (ISI), and our Presenting Sponsors: the Supple Foundation. Founder Teddy Grouya sought to create a forum to celebrate and promote documentary film, and the independent filmmakers around the world who bring knowledge and awareness through their stories about real people and issues. Created in 2011, AmDocs takes place annually in Palm Springs, California, just 90 minutes east of Hollywood and with a proven track record of viewing audiences that support independent film.
