About Docuvist
From the Founder:
In 2010, when I was an RA in college, I started hosting an event called Dine ‘n’ Doc. It was a time for friends to get together, eat food, watch a documentary, talk about it, and immediately do something (donate money, write a letter to your Representative, donate supplies, etc.). Over the years, this event progressed from my college dorm room to a variety of friends’ living rooms around the Bay Area.
Then in 2022, I decided I wanted to expand the concept of Dine ‘n’ Doc and make the discovery of quality documentaries and the Dine ‘n’ Doc experience more accessible to everyone.
Sometimes, documentaries can be daunting to watch. My hope is Docuvist will make it easier for you to carve out space and explore these topics with peers, so they feel less ominous, and instead energize you to have conversations and get involved.

From the Founder
The end of the film is just the beginning.
Docuvist helps curious documentary lovers and filmmakers stay inspired, stay informed, and stay engaged — after the credits roll.
Founded by Chloe Fitzmaurice, Docuvist grew out of a simple idea: that watching a great documentary should spark more than just a moment of reflection — it should spark conversations, discoveries, and even small steps toward change.
The roots of Docuvist trace back to 2010, when Chloe began hosting homemade dinners paired with documentary screenings in her college dorm. Friends would gather to watch, talk, and take action — donating to causes, writing letters, or simply asking bigger questions. Over time, these gatherings evolved beyond campus and into living rooms across San Francisco, eventually inspiring Dine 'n' Doc, a community event series that continues to this day.
Docuvist expands that spirit to a wider audience — making it easier for anyone, anywhere, to discover powerful documentaries and stay engaged with the stories that move them.
At Docuvist, you’ll find:
- Thoughtful film recommendations curated with intention
- Deeper context to keep stories alive beyond the screen
- Pathways for continued learning, conversation, and discovery
We believe that documentaries aren't just entertainment — they're invitations to see the world, and each other, more clearly.
Whether you’re here to find your next favorite film, dive deeper into a story that stayed with you, or simply stay connected to a community of curious minds — welcome to Docuvist. We're so glad you're here.
