A note on IDA Fall Screening Series a.k.a. FallDocs 🍂

We’re evolving the way we present film screenings—both online and in person—to better serve our members and filmmakers. This year, we will not be presenting a continuous Fall screening series, a.k.a. FallDocs, in its previous format.

That said, members can look forward to a lineup of special screenings throughout the Fall (see below). Beginning November 3 through December 31, IDA members will enjoy streaming and voting access to all shortlisted films of the 41st IDA Documentary Awards in the Best Feature and Best Short categories—plus, for the first time, select craft categories.

More details coming soon...

IDA's FallDocs, formerly known as IDA Screening Series, is a curated collection of the most acclaimed documentary films of the year. We combine films and their creators with industry insiders and film enthusiasts throughout the award season. IDA’s FallDocs hybrid event presents films in-person and streaming online via IDA's Eventive virtual platform. This format will expand your film’s geographical reach and help gain new audiences.

The Audience

FallDocs is now exclusive to IDA & AMPAS members and is invitation-only to craft guild members. As a staff, we are closely following local COVID-19 public health protocols and social-distancing measures for in-person screenings. If you aren’t already a member, join the IDA family today!

The changes we have outlined are part of IDA’s many efforts to implement its core values. We cannot do this work alone, and we are grateful for our industry partners and sponsors whose financial support helps us fund important field-building initiatives.
