The International Documentary Association has set the schedule for its annual fall screening series, giving a prominent spot to films with major awards potential.

The series will commence Wednesday, September 13 with Yance Ford's acclaimed film Strong Island, a story of family tragedy and racial injustice involving the director's older brother. As per tradition, the director(s) of each film in the series will participate in a Q&A following the screening of their film. The Landmark Theatre in West Los Angeles will again serve as the host venue.

Documentary filmmakers are at the forefront of what’s happening in the world, training their cameras on global conflict or the arena of big ideas.

Arthur Miller: Writer, Rebecca Miller's portrait of her late father, is among the films selected for the series. It will screen November 9. Her documentary premieres a month earlier at the New York Film Festival.

"Documentary filmmakers are at the forefront of what’s happening in the world, training their cameras on global conflict or the arena of big ideas,” IDA executive Director Simon Kilmurry said in announcing the series. “This year's screenings take us from the battlefields of Syria to the far reaching implications of climate change to the historical underpinnings of our contemporary political situation. And we also have a movie about cats.”

The movie about cats, of course, is Kedi by Turkish director Ceyda Torun, a breakout hit in the U.S. where the film has made more than $2.8 mil. in theatrical release. Torun will be present for the IDA screening on November 6.
