2022 IDA Documentary Awards nominees announced
Nominations have been announced for the International Documentary Association's 2022 IDA Documentary Awards, with two of the year's most popular docs top of the nominations pile. Sara Dosa's Fire of Love scores five nods from voters, including Best Feature and Best Director. And Shaunak Sen's All That Breathes scores four, also including Feature and Director; it also wins one of the IDA's two special awards, the Pare Lorentz Award, given to a film reflecting the democratic sensibility, activist spirit, and lyrical vision of the great American documentarian. Winners for the nine other categories, plus those from categories representing media other than cinema, will be announced at a currently undecided date next Spring.
