The Series is Going Online!

Year after year, we bring together both films and their creators to industry insiders and film enthusiasts throughout the fall season. Last year, we expanded to New York. This year, we are going online! We’re proud to showcase 35 documentaries from October to January. This year’s Screening Series includes 16 projects by BIPOC filmmakers, 20 by women-identified filmmakers, and 11 by filmmakers from our international community.

The Digital 2020-2021 Screening Series:

  • Both films and filmmaker Q&As will be available through IDA's Eventive virtual cinema.

  • Films will be available on demand for all IDA members exclusively. Each screening has a 7-day unlock period until the Q&A date. Once unlocked, members have 24 hours to watch the film. Please note that other guild members will not have access to digital screenings.

  • Post-film conversation live streams with creators and subjects are open to the public for free - members and non-members alike. All filmmaker Q&As stay on Eventive for viewing after its premiere date.

If you are not an IDA member, join the IDA family today to access Screening Series and many other members-only benefits.
