The International Documentary Association, an organization dedicated to supporting nonfiction moviemaking and fostering a thriving culture surrounding doc production, is back with its free annual screening series.
This fall’s iteration will kick off on September 13 at The Landmark in Los Angeles and features an award-winning roster, including the haunting God Knows Where I Am and Yance Ford’s Strong Island.
From the press release:
Films selected for the IDA Documentary Screening Series receive exclusive access to an audience of tastemakers and documentary lovers. In addition to reaching the general public during the Awards season, the series brings some of the year’s most acclaimed documentary films to voting members of industry guilds and organizations.
“Documentary filmmakers are at the forefront of what’s happening in the world, training their cameras on global conflict or the arena of big ideas,” says IDA Executive Director Simon Kilmurry. “This year’s screenings take us from the battlefields of Syria to the far reaching implications of climate change to the historical underpinnings of our contemporary political situation. And we also have a movie about cats.”
Screenings will take place at The Landmark in Los Angeles from September through November. All screenings are free to the public with first seating opportunities offered to IDA members and guild members. Each screening will conclude with a moderated Q&A.
Unless otherwise noted, all screenings will begin at 7:30pm. As the lineup for the Series continues to evolve the updated schedule will be available at www.documentary.org/screenings. The current lineup of the Screening Series at The Landmark in Los Angeles is as follows:
