Summer 2021

Summer 2021

In this beyond-2020 world, we are applying the lessons we learned from the deep dive we all took—as a business, as a community and as a organization—to redefine our core values and re engage with a renewed vigor. Given the ingenuity that festivals, distributors and exhibitors exuded in reimagining their respective delivery systems, we sought to poll the field about what worked well enough to continue in a hybrid form. Closer to home, we at IDA are sequing into our next chapter. Jina Chung, our Senior Director, Development & Partnerships, offers a vision for values-based fundraising as a means to build on the work she already started to support the grassroots community. We also speak to new IDA Executive Director Rick Pérez about his goals for continuing to position IDA as a field leader and a field builder.
