Still a bit fuzzy on the recent changes to the Academy’s qualifying rules for a Best Documentary Feature nomination? Yeah, join the club––I had to look up this post from last October as a bit of a refresher. The biggest change, is that films are required to complete a seven-day run in both Los Angeles and Manhattan before August 31. So once again, the IDA has put together a mini-documentary festival later this month in Los Angeles to help a number of films make that milestone.
It seems to be a pretty diverse list, although maybe I’m not one to judge––the only title I’ve actually seen is Terrence Davies’ Of Time and the City, although I recognize others, such as Ellen Kuras’ Nerakhoon, and the Slamdance hit Dear Zachary. In any case, the full list is after the jump. DocuWeek runs from August 22-28 in Los Angeles.
Via The Circuit.

Flow is probably my favorite documentary of the year. It’s great the film will get a chance to qualify for Oscar consideration!
