DOXA Feature Documentary Award
The DOXA Feature Documentary Award is an annual Canadian film award, presented to honour the best international feature documentary film screened at that year's DOXA Documentary Film Festival. The award frequently, but not always, presents an honorable mention in addition to the overall winner.
A separate award, the Colin Low Award, is presented for Canadian feature documentaries.
