Serving the truth, one short documentary at a time.
SCOOP is a short documentary festival brought to you by Seattle's Pulitzer Prize-winning online publication The Stranger and the producers behind the HUMP!, SLAY!, and SPLIFF! Film Festivals.
SCOOP FESTIVAL TRAILER
Last year, we asked our readers to go out into our chaotic world and send us their best scoops about the issues they care about the most. And hooooooo! They delivered! After combing through hundreds of submissions, we curated a fresh and international line-up of documentary shorts, from a trippy exploration of plants in Hong Kong to the history behind the fight to save historic community spaces in Seattle. We celebrated the world and all its truths during the inaugural SCOOP Film Festival in 2021.
