There are plenty of ways to enjoy AFI Docs. You could check out the schedule, see what looks interesting and buy a ticket. You

could attend director Q&As. You could see as many movies as humanly possible, only to emerge when the festival is over to find

you have no job and spent $476 on Uber getting from screening to screening. If you’re looking for something to spice up the

all-documentary film festival, which kicked off its 13th year on Wednesday, we’ve got a game for you. Below are unofficial categories

that reflect AFI Docs’ diversity of subjects; when you see a movie that fits one, cross the category off. First person to complete a

row, column or diagonal bingo-style gets the satisfaction of knowing the Uber bill was worth it. (We’ve provided a sample film for

each category in case you need help.) KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

AFI Docs, through Sun., various locations and times, ticket prices vary, most screenings $10-$12, festival passes available for
