International Documentary Association (IDA) supports the vital work of documentary storytellers and champions a thriving and inclusive documentary culture. We are dedicated to the vision of a world where documentary creators flourish. Through our work, we connect audiences with the best of the form, provide resources, cultivate community, and defend the rights and freedoms of documentary artists, activists and journalists around the globe.
Golden Globe Foundation supports IDA’s Getting Real Fellowship Program, an expansion of the Documentary Magazine Editorial Fellowship Program, which elevates the profiles and develops the skills of 16 emerging and mid-career filmmakers and film professionals. The program provides dedicated mentorship in film writing, monthly exploratory learning workshops, and professional writing opportunities in Documentary, IDA’s print and online publication, leading up to the next iteration of Getting Real, our biennial conference which will be held in early 2026 in Los Angeles.
