DocuClub LA is a collaboration between Film Independent and the International Documentary Association (IDA). This work-in-progress screening series offers members of the film community – and the public – advance access to new documentaries, and the opportunity to participate in in-depth conversations with filmmakers. DocuClub offers nonfiction filmmakers a place to share stories that are still being developed in a safe and supportive environment, and receive constructive feedback that will get their projects ready for festivals and distribution.

In 2021, due to the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic, DocuClub will be held virtually. Screenings will be held on the Eventive platform, and feedback discussions will take place in a Zoom meeting immediately following screenings.

DocuClub is presented in partnership with:

- DCTV in New York City (applicants from the Tri-State are eligible to apply)
- Film Independent in Los Angeles
- Hawai’i Women in Filmmaking in Honolulu

Additional partnerships coming soon in other regions across the United States! Please check back soon.

DocuClub LA events are featured in our newsletter, so sign up today to stay up-to-date.
