IDA is proud to announce our media partners for the new IDA Documentary Screening Series—IndieWire, the leading news, information, and networking site for independent-minded filmmakers, the industry and moviegoers alike; and The Nation, the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States devoted to politics and culture.
The IDA Documentary Screening Series is invitation-only screenings of fifteen documentary features that will take place annually between September and January; and launching for the first time this Fall.
"We're very excited to have IndieWire and The Nation join as media partners of the IDA Documentary Screening Series," explains Michael Lumpkin, IDA's Executive Director. "As media partners, IndieWire and The Nation will promote and participate in the program, with the end goal of getting the participating films noticed and viewed by the right audiences."
The Series will bring some of the year’s best documentary films to IDA members as well as members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, industry guilds and other film organizations with the goal of increasing voting participation in the documentary award categories.
Each screening will conclude with a moderated Q&A with the filmmakers. Moderators will include Matt Holzman of KCRW, Dana Harris of IndieWire and Jon Weiner of The Nation.
