The 2021 International Documentary Association (IDA) Awards has revealed the nominations for Best Feature and Best Short. In a year crowded with festival hits and critically hailed nonfiction (see the Critics Choice Documentary Award winners), with more debuts unspooling at Doc NYC, every reputable nonfiction awards group helps to curate the sprawling list of eventual Oscar contenders, and the IDA is no exception.
A number of films, including nominations leader “Summer of Soul” (four nominations), “Faya Dayi” and “Not Going Quietly” (three) and animated Danish Oscar submission “Flee” (two), keep turning up on early awards lists. But top dog NatGeo’s high-profile, well-reviewed titles “The Rescue,” “Becoming Cousteau,” and “Fauci” were left out in favor of an international selection of less-hyped titles. (“First Wave” scored the Pare Lorentz award plus a cinematography nomination.) PBS earned 14 nominations across its programming strands, followed by Netflix and Hulu each with seven nominations and HBO with six nominations.

Brazile made a recent appeared on ABC News’ “This Week,” identified as a contributor, and a spokesperson for the Walt Disney unit confirmed she had joined its roster in previous weeks. Brazile has been a noted presence on Fox News Channel, which tilts decidedly to the right. “There’s an audience on Fox News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats,” Brazile said in 2019. “We have to engage that audience and show Americans of every stripe what we stand for rather than retreat into our ‘safe spaces’ where we simply agree with each other.”

Donna Brazile, the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, will join Fox News as a contributor, the cable-news network announced Monday, making a high-profile liberal commentator part of the offering from a network often seen to have close ties with conservative voters.
Brazile, a veteran Democratic strategist, will offer political analysis across both Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network’s daytime and primetime programming. She was expected to make her first appearance on Fox News’ “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino” at 2 p.m. eastern. Perino is a former White House press secretary who served during the administration of President George W. Bush.

I’m pleased to see that the Motion Picture Association of America finally recognized it’s got a big PR problem. Rarely have I encountered flacks as inept and arrogant as Elizabeth Kaltman (who left the MPAA in late July for Walt Disney Studios, where I will make sure never to work with her) and her boss Howard Gantman, the MPAA’s VP Corporate Communications. Now Gantman will have a boss: He will be reporting to fresh hire Laura Nichols, now Evp Global Communications, as part of a new organizational structure. She has extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. Nichols will oversee all international and domestic communications, media relations, new media development and special events.

The respected political website Political reports today that the MPAA is "finds itself in an identity crisis". In a post-Jack Valenti, post-Dan Glickman world, "the once-influential lobby [is] searching for a direction... While the association goes about its job fighting piracy and rating movies, the lack of a unified voice fuels the perception that it is a shell of its former self... Hollywood elite is now a subset of a series of larger corporate empires, That makes it harder to drive a consensus and more difficult to lead what has always been a fractious group of companies that compete fiercely for everything from scripts to talent." Politico reports that studios have reduced the amount of money they pay to the MPAA each year — from 2007 to 2008, that funding dropped by about $20 million, according to tax documents — forcing the association to lay off staff and curtail some activities. The group’s...

By its very design, the response spot is a diminishing one. There's no sergeant at arms to announce your arrival.

First Run Features
NEW YORK -- Using true-life stories to complement its obligatory assemblage of talking heads, Daniel Karslake's documentary handles the theme of religious attitudes toward homosexuality in moving and educational fashion. While the film is unlikely to sway anyone whose mind already isn't made up, it provides plenty food for thought in its examination of biblical doctrine on same-sex love and how it resonates to this day.
The film concentrates on five individuals whose family lives were dramatically affected by their eventual coming out. They include such relatively well-known figures as Chrissy Gephardt, daughter of former U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, and Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church. The former was publicly supported by her politician father, who offered to cut short his Democratic presidential candidacy if it would make her life difficult. The latter was embraced by most of the members of his congregation after he declared his gayness.
Other happy stories include that of Tonia Poteat, whose parents have continued to support her despite their strong religious convictions, and Jake Reitan, whose parents became activists demonstrating against such Christian organizations as Focus on the Family.
A sadder note is struck in the case of Anna Wallner, whose suicide subsequent to coming out inspired her mother Mary Wall to become an advocate against homophobia.
Along with these inspirational stories is commentary from religious leaders (including Archbishop Desmond Tutu) and scholars countering the literal interpretations of the Bible employed to bolster anti-gay arguments.
More amusingly, a brief animated film makes the case for the scientific arguments bolstering the genetics theory behind homosexuality.
Although displaying little more in the way of technique or style than would be employed in a typical television newsmagazine, For the Bible Tells Me So makes its passionate case with conviction and intelligence.

IATSE joined a coalition of 19 unions Thursday in endorsing John Kerry as the Democratic nominee for president -- only the second time the entertainment union has backed a candidate for president. The first time came in July, when IATSE endorsed presidential candidate Rep. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., on behalf of its 104,000 members (HR 7/30). Gephardt dropped out of the race in January and subsequently endorsed Kerry. IATSE's general executive board voted unanimously to join the Alliance of Economic Justice in endorsing Kerry. "The bottom line is defeating George W. Bush in November," IATSE president Thomas Short said. "That victory will lead to the protection and maintenance of jobs, fair trade and health care for every working family across this nation."...
