Welcome to the 30th International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam! Over the course of 12 days, IDFA is once again celebrating the creative documentary in the heart of Amsterdam. It’s a festive year in more ways than one: not only is the festival itself celebrating its 30th anniversary, but two of its major industry components have a jubilee as well, with IDFA Forum turning 25 and the IDFA Bertha Fund turning 20 this year. The festival is screening over 300 documentaries, ranging from the latest films from all over the world to carefully selected classics, interactive documentaries, live performances and installations. The program is divided into three categories. The competitions showcase IDFA’s discoveries: the best new films that are having their World, International or European Premiere at the festival. Several focus programs question the documentary genre in various ways, asking how we look at the world. And our regular sections give a bird’s-eye view of today’s world and the cream of the documentary crop. For a brief overview of the various program sections, turn to page 26. And of course IDFA isn’t only screening documentaries; the festival also plays an active role in the documentary industry, working hard to bring new films to fruition and support new documentary talent. It does this through its two markets: Docs for Sale for completed documentaries, and the IDFA Forum for projects that are seeking finance and co-production partners. Through the IDFA Bertha Fund, we offer assistance to documentary filmmakers in developing countries so they can find their voice and tell their stories. In IDFA’s new media program DocLab and its industry components, we explore the latest trends and developments in the digital age. The IDFAcademy program helps up-and-coming filmmakers to hone their skills. During the festival, many of these activities come together at the Industry Office, a onestop service center for all IDFA guests.

IDFAcademy
IDFAcademy bridges the gap between film school and practice with tailor-made training programs geared to talented international documentary filmmakers, both during the festival and throughout the year. Through masterclasses, case studies, lectures, panels, small-scale workshops and round table sessions, the IDFAcademy program during the festival helps budding filmmakers learn about the latest documentary developments and sharpen their industry awareness. Every day concludes with Meet the Professionals: round table sessions and one-on-one meetings with esteemed documentary professionals. Every year in early July, the IDFAcademy Summer School offers a week-long training program for young filmmakers, editors and producers from all over the world. Mentored by internationally renowned tutors, participants take their documentary projects in the script or editing stage to the next level. Going back more than two decades, the IDFAcademy’s workshop for Dutch filmmaking talent, found a new partner in 2017 and continued as
18
the IDFAcademy & NPO Fund Workshop. Running from July to November, the workshop allows six young documentary talents to turn an original idea into a film plan for a 50-60 minute documentary. During IDFA, their plans are presented to Dutch public broadcasters and one of them is awarded a €25,000 development grant, plus an additional €5,000 to develop a teaser, made available by the NPO Fund. During the annual Kids & Docs Workshop, organized in cooperation with the Cinekid festival since 1999 and supported by NPO Fund starting this year, participants develop a film plan for a 15-minute youth documentary aimed at children between eight and 12 years of age. Each of the filmmakers receives support from a participating Dutch broadcaster.

How do you chose the right medium for the story you want to tell? How can you use the endless possibilities of the internet without getting lost? And how do you finance interactive documentaries, find the right partners, and reach your audience?

FESTIVAL INFORMATION
DocLab Immersive Network
The rise of immersive media (VR/AR/MR), machine learning and the Internet of Things has created an explosive new growth industry for mediamakers. New opportunities are everywhere: to develop new art forms, test new business models and explore new ways to interact with audiences. However, the immersive industry is also a complex, hard-to-define and fragmented one. That is why in 2016, IDFA DocLab launched the Immersive Network, connecting experts and talents to create new works and exchange knowledge The Immersive Network addresses questions such as: How do we navigate between technologies in very different stages of development and avoid the pitfalls of every new hype-cycle? How do we create meaningful collaborations across disciplines, reach increasingly fragmented audiences and create better opportunities to learn and analyze our past mistakes? How do we keep the internet an open platform and steer the digital revolution towards a more human future?
Program Guide
The Immersive Network is realized in collaboration with participants from ARTE, the National Film Board of Canada, MIT, Sound and Vision, Diversion, Fresh Pitch Shanghai, VRbase Amsterdam, Google, The Guardian, VPRO, Tribeca Film Festival, HvA, Sonos, and many others. Public activities include the commissioning and exhibition of new experimental works and audience research during the festival. Invitationonly activities include the Immersive Network Summit, an international think tank event with experts from all corners of the interactive and immersive storytelling industry and an Expert Meeting on Interactive Documentary Preservation, organized with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Reports and case studies will be published and made available for free online after the events through the Immersive Network Knowledge Base. DocLab: Immersive Network is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Navigating the World of Distribution Contracts The rise of global streaming platforms has heavily disrupted the industry, causing a continuing shift from traditional distribution to digital distribution and production. The digital revolution has altered business relations with filmmakers and producers who can now sell rights directly to SVOD platforms, largely bypassing theatrical and festival circuits. But what do these sales, theatrical and VOD contracts look like? Even though documentary content is more popular and accessible than ever, the diverse and competitive marketplace is International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam

Resistance Is Fertile – Storytelling, Law & Activism, hosted by Bertha Foundation Our struggles are global and increasingly interconnected. We face old foes in new guises. There’s an urgent need to understand how to grow from our resistance, and how to work together. This talk, hosted by the Bertha Foundation, asks: What does creative resistance look like right now? We’re going to look and learn from our South African comrades—how they are resisting using the law, ground-up organizing, and cultural activism. Join film director Aliki Saragas (Strike a Rock), movement lawyer Nurina Ally (Equal Education Law Centre), organizer/educator Tshepo Motsepe of Equal Education, and Barbara Hogan, former Minister of Public Enterprise, former Minister of Health and the first white South African woman tried and imprisoned for high treason by the apartheid government.
Shifting Perspectives, Building Bridges Alongside IDFA’s focus program Shifting Perspectives: The Arab World, which is being held in De Kleine Komedie, this Industry Talk takes a look at the Arab world from an industry perspective. How can the documentary industry contribute to a better understanding of the Arab world and change the way in which Western audiences perceive Arab identity? What role do both Western and Arab documentary producers play in deconstructing and reconstructing this image? In this Industry Talk moderated by Rasha Salti, filmmakers and producers Diana El-Jeiroudi, Raed Andoni, Mohanad Yaqubi and Gudrun Hanke-El Ghomri, who are active in both (or in between) Arab and Western spheres, shed light on the challenges and obstacles they face in dealing with different filmmaking languages, constructing a dialogue, and archetypical ideas about East and West—those of audiences as well as professionals. How can we bridge the supposed differences and move towards a more inclusive documentary industry, one that is less defined along stereotypical views of “the other”?

Master Class Lars Skree, hosted by NSC
Mobile Documentary, hosted by NBF
Lars Skree is a renowned Danish director of photography, well known for his documentary work on productions like Armadillo, The Look of Silence, Putin’s Kiss and How to Meet a Mermaid. The Netherlands Society of Cinematographers (NSC) and IDFA have invited him to talk about his work in a master class moderated by producer Jesper Jack. Skree discusses observing situations, receiving and implementing artistic input, and living in the moment while creating images.
This NBF event focuses on the use of mobile footage in documentary filmmaking. These days, the extensive technological possibilities of mobile devices can give filmmakers greater access and better results than ever before—but only if the user knows how to exploit the technology to its fullest extent. The Dutch Association of Film and TV Professionals (NBF) is hosting this talk moderated by Guy Molin, in which Rick Hunink and Hinne Brouwer will discuss the use of mobile footage in documentary filmmaking. In this seminarmoderated by Guy Molin and featuring Rick Hunink, Ruud van Gessel, Bart Verraest and Hinne Brouwer, they give tips and tricks to properly use mobile footage for your film, in both production and post-production.

Master Class Ed Lachman What camera equipment do you use for which scene? What images do you choose to convey a certain mood? How do you give a film a particular look and feel? And what equipment is especially suited for documentary? These questions and more are answered by renowned cinematographer Ed Lachman, well-known for his work as DOP on films by Todd Haynes, Ulrich Seidl, Wim Wenders and Steven Soderbergh. Over his multi-decade career, Lachman has had the chance to work on a huge range of films, both fiction and non-fiction. What Lachman always seems to reveal is the beautiful moment or the glimpse of hope that carries a story inside a narrative often ridden with despair or struggle. In this master class hosted by The ARRI Group and moderated by Henning Rädlein, Lachman doesn’t just talk about his methods, but shows them in action with the latest ARRI equipment.

Serialized Documentary Serialized storytelling cannot be ignored as a new documentary trend: not only are doc series finding bigger audiences worldwide, but they’re also telling stories that haven’t been told before. Most importantly, they’ve created new ways for documentary filmmakers and producers to experiment with form, changing the rhythms of drama and the narrative constructions of story arcs and dramatic acts on which feature-length storytelling is based. Highlighting two exciting new projects as case studies—1968mm by Jerry Rothwell and Happy Jail by Michele Josue—this Industry Talk delves into their development, distribution, funding, and especially the creative challenges and opportunities their particular formats pose. Hosted by Creative Europe Desks Netherlands, Flanders and Wallonie-Bruxelles and moderated by Derren Lawford, the talk features creators Stefano Strocchi, Michele Josue and Liam McNiff.

Silence, Pervert Park and The Act of Killing (screening at IDFA 2017). In this session, Köhncke discusses the art of co-production. Most of the documentaries she has worked on over the last decade were co-productions and she is used to teaming up with young talent as well as more seasoned filmmakers. Every co-production is new territory and you cannot give one general recipe. However, some road signs could make the ride less bumpy. Köhncke shares her insights into how to co-produce as well as tips on how to stop worrying and start loving to co-produce. Nov 18, 12:00-13:00 | NH Carlton Paganini
Distribution & Sales What is the role of sales agents in the age of digital distribution? The rise of new platforms radically changed the power structure and financing models for documentary filmmakers. Salma Abdalla (Autlook) provides insight into new distribution models, the importance of the right financing model for documentaries and how to navigate through the digital world and established partners.

Making VR Work for Audiences Using insights from her recent report for the Reuters Journalism Institute “VR for News: The New Reality” and recent BBC audience research, Zillah Watson (Commissioning Editor for Virtual Reality at the BBC) will unravel how we can make compelling story-led VR content that will make audiences put headsets on. Nov 20, 10:00-11:00 | NH Carlton Paganini
Outreach & Impact How do you find out whether your film has made a difference? For as long as people have been making documentaries, they’ve claimed that docs are a uniquely powerful mode of communication. And for just as long, filmmakers have been dodging the question of how we can prove that. In this age of analytics, both funders and partners want proof. It’s our job to show them the best evidence of success, which is not the easiest to collect. This session by Patricia Aufderheide reviews recent research and offers a range of methods, both qualitative and quantitative, to answer the all-too-familiar question: does documentary make a difference? Nov 20, 12:00-13:00 | NH Carlton Paganini
Academy Awards Are you interested in learning more about the Oscar®-qualifying process for documentaries? Tom Oyer, Membership & Awards Manager at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will provide a detailed explanation of the qualifying requirements for Oscar consideration in both the Documentary Feature and Documentary Short Subject categories, followed by a Q&A period to answer audience members’ questions.

Various OTT and VOD platforms are highlighted, many of which buy and some of which also fund or partially fund projects themselves. Digital-first, short-format programs, “originals,” cross-platform and long-format trends are canvassed, including “creative windowing,” hybrid distribution, middlemen and aggregators. Bernfeld will close with a snapshot overview of the evolving VR sector and its alternative buyers and funders in VR content, going beyond the usual suspects. Nov 21, 12:00-13:30 | NH Carlton Paganini
Short Opportunities With new platforms emerging and old media changing, the possibilities for short documentaries are also evolving. Festivals are far from the only place where you can see these films: a wide range of media outlets have embraced the short doc to spread their messages and reach their audiences. On the one hand, these options bring new audiences, funding possibilities, partners and communities. But at the same time, the business model of short docs remains hard to define. In this session moderated by Wouter Jansen (Some Shorts), representatives from the Guardian, The New York Times Op-Docs, the Tribeca Film Institute, the Krakow Film Foundation and the Academy Awards present their work and tell you what the opportunities are for you as a filmmaker. Nov 22, 10:00-11:00 | NH Carlton Paganini
Private funding for Documentaries In this session Kelsey Koenig of New York-based Impact Partners gives a presentation on the opportunities and challenges of finding and working with non-public funding, banks, private equity, loans and other sources for your documentary. How can you involve other sources of financing in your film production and does this require a whole other approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Koenig will give you the insights on getting started. Nov 22, 12:00-13:00 | NH Carlton Paganini

Johan Grimonprez Johan Grimonprez’s critically acclaimed work dances on the borders of practice and theory, art and cinema, documentary and fiction. Informed by an archeology of present-day media, his work seeks out the tension between the intimate and the wider context of globalization. It questions our contemporary culture, framed by a fear industry that has infected political and social dialogue. This talk moderated by film critic Dana Linssen will delve into his work, which emphasizes a multiplicity of histories and realities by suggesting new narratives through which to tell a story. Grimonprez’s curatorial projects have been exhibited at museums worldwide and his award-winning films include dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y (1997) and Double Take (2009). His recent film project Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade (with investigative journalist Andrew Feinstein) was pitched at IDFA Forum and premiered at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival in New York. It also screened at IDFA in 2016, and his latest film Blue Orchids is screening in the Paradocs section this year. Nov 20, 17:00-18:00 | Brakke Grond Expozaal

DocLab: Uncharted Rituals Robots and computers are acting more and more like people. They’re driving around in cars, hooking us up with new lovers and talking to us out of the blue. But is the opposite also true—are people acting more and more like robots?
Exhibition
The computers may think so: Addicted to our phones, caught in virtual filter bubbles and dependent on just a handful of tech companies, people are acting more and more predictably. The breakthrough of artificial intelligence and immersive media doesn’t just pose the question what technology does to us, but also what we do with this technology.
Nov 16-25, 9:00-23:00, Nov 26, 9:00-18:00
That’s why this year DocLab, IDFA’s platform for interactive media art, is investigating the ritual dance between man and technology. In collaboration with amongst others internet art pioneer Jonathan Harris, the DocLab: Uncharted Ritual program investigates new stories and behavioral patterns between man and machine—in theatres, on your phone and in the street.
All day long, the DocLab: Uncharted Rituals exhibition presents the latest and best interactive documentaries, games and audio experiences. Immerse yourself in the VR Cinema and bizarre experiments with artificial intelligence or go offline with internet pioneer Jonathan Harris. De Brakke Grond

Order, Chaos and Everything
Way back when, her next door neighbor Bob was Elisa’s great love. Now she’s 84 years old and suffering from dementia. Did Bob really exist or is he a figment of her failing memory? Audio collective Schik presents the fascinating six-part podcast Bob, reminiscent in both its form and its engrossing nature of American counterparts like Serial and S-Town. For IDFA, Schik has turned their podcast into an intimate and interactive multimedia performance, made possible with support from the Netherlands Film Fund D ocLab Interactive Grant.
The digital age has brought us infinite amounts of—conflicting and mostly unsatisfying—answers to the biggest questions in life. When the old maps of science and religion no longer apply, where should we look to find guidance? How do we experience the riddle of consciousness, and how do we navigate the unfolding journey of life? In this live event, Jonathan Harris combines three completely different projects from his Top 10 to take the audience on a secular pilgrimage. Join Harris as he explores the mystery of human existence through the writings of architect Christopher Alexander (The Nature of Order), the online chaos of networked information (YouTube), and the digital “consciousness simulator” Everything by David O’Reilly.

But everything changed with the military coup of 1974, when the brutal Derg regime rose to power. After the screening, Ethiopian music legends Girma Bèyènè and Akalé Wubé perform for the audience.
