Deadline’s For The Love Of Docs Series: Giving Oscar-Worthy Films A Boost, Free Of Charge
deadline.comDeadline’s For the Love of Docs virtual event series concludes its 10-week run this week with a screening of the Oscar-contending documentary Blink, directed by Edmund Stinson and Oscar winner Daniel Roher (Navalny).
No film invited to participate in FTLOD pays a fee to take part; the series was conceived as a way for Deadline to support the documentary field, which faces increasing distribution challenges even as the quality and quantity of nonfiction films has risen significantly.
Deadline partners with National Geographic Documentary Films to present the series. Films featured in For the Love of Docs in recent years include eventual Oscar nominees A House Made of Splinters, directed by Simon Lereng Wilmont; Beyond Utopia, directed by Madeleine Gavin; Bobi Wine: The People’s President, directed by Christopher Sharp and Moses Bwayo; To Kill a Tiger, directed by Nisha Pahuja; Fire of Love, directed by Sara Dosa, and many other notable films including Richland, Kokomo City, The Disappearance of Shere Hite, The Killing of a Journalist, and Invisible Beauty.
This is the fifth season of FTLOD, curated by independent documentary producer James Costa, a former co-president of the board of the International Documentary Association.
