This year’s IDA Documentary Awards will feature three new awards recognizing creative achievement in documentary filmmaking. The new Creative Recognition Awards acknowledge the contributions of cinematography, editing, and use of music to documentary feature films. The recipients of these awards represent the top of their craft and honoring them underscores the importance of their work in creating powerful documentary films.
