Awards season is heating up. Gotham Award and Critics Choice nominations dropped last week, more and more countries are submitting their picks in the International Oscar Feature race, and the International Documentary Association (IDA) just announced shortlists for the Best Feature and Best Short categories at the IDA Documentary Awards.

Up to 10 nominees in each of the feature and short documentary categories will be selected from the shortlists.

Titles in the features shortlist include “Ascension,” Jessica Kingdon’s exploration of China’s industrial supply chain, and “Fruits of Labor,” Emily Cohen’s portrait of a Mexican-American teen struggling to balance the demands of school, work, and home. Also in the running is “Writing with Fire,” Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh’s look inside India’s only women-led news outlet.
