IDA call for entries 2009

The International Documentary Association has put out its call for this year's DocuWeeks Theatrical Documentary Showcases. The feature-length documentaries chosen are shown each year in Los Angeles and New York, in order to qualify them for Academy Awards consideration. Documentary shorts are also chosen and shown in Los Angeles -- also making them eligible for Academy consideration.

If you're interested, the deadline is April 14 for early birds, and May 11 for the procrastinators among us (cough, cough). Submissions are made through Withoutabox.

For all the details, visit the IDA DocuWeeks Call for Entries page.
