DOX BOX

DOX BOX (Arabic: أيام سينما الواقع‎) is an annual independent documentary film festival established in Syria and launched in February 2008. DOX BOX is supported by a wide spectrum of professional international organizations and festivals and organized by a Syrian production company, Proaction Film, as a non-profit, free admission event. In its second edition, DOX BOX 09, it reached 12000 admissions according to the festival's website.

In March 2012 DOX BOX festival has decided to refrain from holding its fifth edition in protest against the killing and oppression of civilians in Syria according to a statement released on the official festival site. Alternatively, in 15 and 16 March 2012 the festival organized the "DOX BOX Global Day" and exhibited several Syrian documentary movies in 39 cities across the world.
