Doc Films, formerly the Documentary Film Group, is a student-operated film society at the University of Chicago. According to a 2007 Chicago Tribune article, it is "the longest-running collegiate film society in the country" and may be the oldest film society of any kind in the United States.[1][2] 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.
At the University of Chicago the Documentary Film Group, probably the oldest US film society, has been operating continuously...since 1932.
