LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - For about two dozen documentary filmmakers, the road to Oscar just might begin in a small West Hollywood multiplex and a downtown New York arthouse.
The International Documentary Assn.'s DocuWeeks program, a three-week showcase designed specifically to meet the Academy's eligibility requirements, began on August 12 at the IFC Center in New York City, and kicked off on Friday at Laemmle's Sunset 5 theaters in West Hollywood.
Out of more than 100 submissions, the IDA has chosen 17 features and seven shorts to screen in three separate one-week programs, with each film screening twice a day to meet Oscar-qualifying requirements.
