Doc lives

With this year’s IDFA coming to a close, festival director Ally Derks is upbeat about how this year’s event has unfolded.

By Geoffrey Macnab

Audiences dipped in the immediate aftermath of the Paris attacks, but recovered strongly. Ticket sales are expected to be around 245,000: roughly on a par with the 2013 figure, but slightly down on 2014.

“The thing is, all the commercial cinemas are empty […] it has to do with the terrorist threat. People are afraid of going to the cinema, but our audience is very loyal. The spirit is there. They want to see documentary.”

As this year’s event enters the home straight, Derks is turning toward next year’s 29th edition. It is too early to discuss details of the programme, but one intriguing prospect is Michael Moore (director of some of the highest grossing docs of all time) picking the Top 10.

The awards ceremony this year was moved forward, to Wednesday evening – a decision Derks feels was thoroughly vindicated by the huge turnout at the Melkweg venue. “All of the directors were still there.

The industry people were still there,” Derks states.

Asked what she feels about the recent decision by Danish documentary festival CPH:DOX to move its dates from November to March, she laughs: “I understand. We get all the films they want. When people can choose, they go to us.” But she qualifies her remarks: “Copenhagen is a wonderful city and the staff there is fantastic.”

2 A Family Affair She acknowledges the autumn schedule can be very punishing for industry delegates, with so many doc events crammed into the calendar. It is taxing on both budgets and family lives. “You can only spend your money once and all these television people, their budgets really are cut in a severe way.”

In 2017, Derks herself will be on sabbatical. She has been offered a year-long fellowship in Berlin at the The Robert Bosch Stiftung. “I am very lucky I can do that. There is a real angel at my shoulder.”

“There will probably be a new director for 6 or 7 months, probably somebody from abroad, but we do need to discuss it,” Derks suggests of what may happen at IDFA. “I do think it is very important that there is a programmer from outside to avoid staring at our own navel.” Derks is keen to get out of her “comfort zone.” She is confident IDFA will manage in her absence. “It will also grow without me. The baby is an adult now.” Besides, she will still be attending the 2017 edition. And then, “In 2018, I will be back!”

As for her own highlights over the last 10 days, she cites the Errol Morris retrospective and Top 10 and the Benjamin Barber special focus, Jihad vs.

McWorld. “And every morning, I look out of my hotel room and see all those children going into the Munt. That is amazing, really amazing.”

YES to IDFA Prerana Langa, CEO of India’s YES Foundation, speaks about the work of her organisation and what she is looking to achieve before IDFA-end. YES is part of the YES bank, the fifth largest private bank on the subcontinent, and runs a series of filmmaking challenges focused on youth development. On the day of any given challenge, registered participants are made aware of a nominated social cause, such as care of the elderly, and are then given 101 hours to make a 3-minute film on the subject. The foundation’s guiding principle “is to build innovative and inclusive ecosystems to catalyse social transformation.”

“What is interesting is that, in the first year we had 2,200 participants; in the second, 50,000 and this year we have 600,000, making us the world’s largest social filmmaking movement,” comments Langa, who is sitting on the IDFA Student Film jury this year. “What we do is take the films to schools and colleges to encourage responsible consumption of media. We run social film festivals with these. It is about inner transformation within the filmmakers and the audiences.”

“We are looking to see if we can institute a prize here in the future on social impact,” Langa continues. “At the Mumbai Film Fest we instituted such a prize, worth some $20,000. We are just three years old and these are early days for us, but we are looking at partnerships to see how we can promote filmmaking in India and mindset transformation.”

IDFA debuts VICE Night With its innovative approach to factual storytelling, millennial generation focus and reputation for irreverent reporting, it was only a matter of time before burgeoning youth-skewed news and entertainment company VICE Media teamed up with IDFA. By Melanie Goodfellow

For the first time this year, VICE selected eight short documentaries from IDFA’s 2015 line-up by young directors from all over the world as part of a talent development programme with the longer-term aim of offering them advice and potential production support on their next projects. “We’re in the business of storytelling, make a lot of documentaries and are big fans of IDFA. We’ve been talking about doing something together with the festival for some time,” says VICE Media Benelux publisher Sjoerd Raaijmakers.

“All eight filmmakers are invited for a session in which we will look at how we can help them with their new projects, either through feedback, the support of our network of local offices or perhaps even by producing – it really depends what they’re working on,” explains Raaijmakers. “Our development and editorial teams already work with young and emerging directors on a daily basis, so the talent development programme with IDFA is a logical step,” he says.

The selected titles includes Dutch Sophie Dros’ My Silicone Love, about a man who lives with 12 life-size, female silicon dolls; Portuguese Miguel Coimbra and Marco Espirito Santo’s bull-fighting themed Blood Brothers; Dutch Reber Dosky’s The Sniper of Kobani about a Kurdish sniper, and Indian Aakash Bhatia’s Suburban King/Top-girl about the Dahi Handi festival in Mumbai, revolving around the formation of huge human pyramids. “There wasn’t any specific criteria. Our selection was based rather on whether we found a work interesting in the way it told a story. If you take Suburban King, it’s shot like a video clip and we found it an interesting format. In the case of My Silicone Love, the way in which Sophie Dros approached the subject as a female filmmaker is really interesting.”

My Silicone Love

A selection of the short films will screen at the inaugural VICE Night at IDFA, taking place Friday night in De Brakke Grond.

Raaijmakers says the collaboration with IDFA makes sense on a number of levels. “IDFA has its roots in more traditional documentary making and feature films, but the market is changing rapidly and we’re an exponent of this changing market, tapping into new ways of storytelling, using our own platforms and partners like Google, Snapchat and Facebook to do so,” he adds.

While working with IDFA gives VICE access to the traditional documentary world, VICE in return can help connect the festival with younger audiences, he adds. “A younger audience is harder to encourage to go to feature documentary films and we’re helping IDFA by using our media to promote the festival in general,” he says.

VICE, which currently has 37 bureaus worldwide, was also at the festival this year with William Fairman and Max Goharty’s Chemsex. It was to have internationally premiered Alex Hoffman’s The Redemption of the Devil but the film, about Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes, was pulled following the deadly terror attacks in Paris in which a performance by the band at the Bataclan concert hall was targeted.

Healthy appetites

On the new media front, IDTV is developing Fame/Shame, a new short doc from Eef Hilgers looking at the growing phenomenon of posting humiliating videos online. “It’s about the internet,” Borgdorff explains. “It’s about uploading little films of people who are fighting or swearing.

These ridiculous films go viral. The film is about the effects. The form is very unique because the whole film is on the monitor of a computer.” The subjects of the doc will be found through Skype, FaceTime and other online resources.

IDTV’s docs tend to be targeted very specifically at Dutch audiences. Those with international appeal are generally sold by NPO Sales.

Sculpting with stone has long been considered a spiritual process. Somehow, great artists are able to mould beautiful forms out of rock. The Italian town of Carrara is a mecca for stone carving. Now, though, scientists have developed a robot capable of producing any 3D marble form from a computer file.

For traditional artists, this is a shocking idea. Not only does the robot threaten their livelihoods, it insults their deeply held beliefs about the sacred nature of their craft.

The battle between “man and machine” is at the heart of White Cube, a new feature doc announced by Polish producer Marta Golba here at IDFA. The film is being made through Golba’s new Warsaw-based production outfit, Endorfina Studio, and is directed by Wojciech Pustoła. It will be ready next year.

Golba has been at IDFA this year with Life of a Butterfly, which screened in the mid-length competition. This is the second film produced by Endorfina, following on from 15 Corners of the World, which screened in Locarno. The company has also been generating considerable buzz with another new doc, All These Sleepless Nights by Michał Marczak (director of Fuck For Forest). Sleepless Nights received support from The Sundance Institute and was made by Golba in collaboration with UK-based Pulse Films. A sales agent will be appointed shortly. The film is billed as a story about two friends in Warsaw who “push each experience to its breaking point, testing what it might mean to be truly awake in a world that seems satisfied to be asleep.”

Endorfina was formed by Golba in 2011. She previously spent several years working for the Wajda Studio in Warsaw. The company develops both creative docs and fictional features. “I am moving now more to fiction,” Golba comments of her upcoming slate. As one of the few young indie producers in Poland, Golba says she is “in the lucky position that directors find me.”

IDFA title Life of a Butterfly is a portrait of Polish professional heavyweight martial arts fighter Marcin Różalski, in which director Piotr Bernas sets out to understand the fighter’s motivation for wanting “to beat others,” which he sees as his life’s work, and to look at his life away from sport. Endorfina continues to grow. Ask Golba where the name comes from and she suggests: “maybe it’s so when it is very tough, I can remind myself that making films should be a lot of fun… it should give you a lot of endorphins!” Geoffrey Macnab

NonStop joins Submarine

“We are the biggest documentary producer in Holland,” states Carolijn Borgdorff, the boss at IDTV Docs, which looks to make half a dozen feature docs every year.

The company is represented in IDFA by Need for Meat, the provocative new doc from Marijn Frank in which Frank questions her own carnivorous tendencies. Now, IDTV is preparing an ambitious new doc about migration. Directed by Ireen van Ditshuyzen, this will look at migrants who’ve successfully integrated into Dutch society over the last 40 or 50 years. The film will look at the struggles these migrants faced and, says Borgdorff, “the people they needed to be successful.”

Showing its appetite for arts documentaries as well as social issues docs, IDTV is also preparing a new doc called The Ola Method about visionary theatre director Ola Mafaalani, who recently re-staged Nordic noir TV series Borgen as a 10-hour play with the Noord Nederlands Toneel theatre company. Another new doc, Solo, is about a woman mourning her husband. The couple used to go for many holidays by camper van. As she tries to cope with her grief, she embarks on a solo trip in the camper. The film is directed by Koen Suidgeest and will be broadcast by IKON next year.

Man Falling

Danish DNA Here at IDFA, producer Sigrid Dyekjær of leading Danish doc production outfit Danish Documentary Production has revealed details of the new projects the company is hatching.

Eva Mulvad (a co-founder of the company and director of The Good Life and Enemies of Happiness) is now shooting her new doc, A Modern Man, about a violinist who also works as a model. Pernille Rose Grønkjêer (director of IDFA favourite The Monastery: Mr Vig and the Nun) recently made an intriguing new doc called Genetic Me. “This is a film is about how DNA predicts who you are as a person […] if you get to know your DNA […], you can then change your personality,” explains Dyekjær. Grønkjêer’s latest project, Hunting for Hedonia, pitched recently at CPH: DOX, is about deep brain stimulation.

Meanwhle, Mikala Krogh is close to completing School of Life, a doc about a group of boys from the Philippines who have grown up being sexually abused. Pitched earlier this week at the Forum, it is being shot

by Morgan Knibbe.

Edible insect doc Bugs from Andreas Johnsen will be ready by spring 2016. About two young chefs from René Redzepi’s experimental Nordic Food Lab, it investigates the taste of insects around the world – said to be the future of food. The film will be available in many different formats – a feature doc, a one-hour broadcast version, a 5 x 45 minute series for ZDF/ARTE and an 8 x 29-minute version for other broadcasters.

Phie Ambo, one of the original partners in Danish Documentary Production, has left the company – at least temporarily. She is currently working as a scientist at the Niels Bohr Institute and making a film about her experiences there.

In Amsterdam, the company is presenting Man Falling by Anne Regitze Wivel. The prolific Dyekjær is also co-producer on IDFA opening film A Family Affair and will coproduce new Ulrich Seidl doc, Auf Safari.

Here at IDFA, New York outfit Submarine announced this week that it has formed a new “documentary-centric label” in Scandinavia with NonStop Entertainment to be called NonStop Submarine.

The aim of the new outfit is to distribute 10-15+ titles a year theatrically and across all digital, DVD, TV and streaming platforms in Scandinavia and the Baltics including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The deal was negotiated by David Koh, Dan Braun and Josh Braun on behalf of Submarine along with Jakob Abrahamsson, CEO of NonStop Entertainment.

The initial batch of titles handled by NonStop Submarine will include Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict; Chris Burden: Double Bind; Sneakerheadz; Welcome to Leith; Hedy Lamarr doc Heady Days and Mavis!

“We have had a very fun and successful collaboration over the years, and our filmmakers and producers couldn’t have a better home and distributor than NonStop Entertainment.

Scandinavian audiences are amongst the most sophisticated in the world and doc crazy and we look forward to supplying great films, stories and human voices from around the world by great directors as we help to expand the doc market in Scandinavia with NonStop and worldwide. We look forward to working with Jakob and his team on our upcoming slate,” David Koh, Dan Braun, and Josh Braun of Submarine commented.

Jakob Abrahamsson of NonStop Entertainment added: “We’re delighted that one of the first steps we take as a newly reborn independent player is to solidify our relationship with Submarine, one of the world’s most prominent documentary crews, and hence to work more closely with David, Dan and Josh and their team, whose impeccable tastes and sensibilities are very much aligned with ours and to get in early on some of the greatest docs made.”

Upcoming and recent releases from NonStop Entertainment include: Ingrid Bergman in Her Own Words (2musd+ in Scandinavia); Dior & I; Tale of Tales; An; El Club; The White People; From Afar; Heart of a Dog; Mama; Lolo and Leviathan.

The deal also includes a first look option for Submarine’s fiction slate. Geoffrey Macnab

Hot docs & money shots

At Home in the World

Barbara Kopple has been in Amsterdam this week with a brace of new feature documentaries, both European premieres. Hot Type: 150 years of The Nation is in IDFA’s Masters while Miss Sharon Jones! has been screening in the Music Documentary section. By Geoffrey Macnab

You can’t help but think of London buses at the simultaneous arrival of these movies, and the old saying that you wait an eternity for one then two turn up at once. Kopple, though, explains that Hot Type (which celebrates 150 years of America’s oldest liberal literary magazine) started first, in 2012, while Miss Sharon Jones! (which follows soul singer Jones as she is diagnosed with and then recovers from cancer) began shooting in 2013. It just so happens that they both ended up being completed in 2015, in time for IDFA. One of the issues foregrounded in Hot Type is the struggle The Nation is having adjusting to a digital world. Ask the double Oscarwinning director what she feels about the new media landscape and she sighs. “I certainly miss film. It is so beautiful and wonderful,” she states. “Also, you don›t have to ponder which camera to use, because the [digital] cameras change every month. Cinematographers don’t even know what the best camera is […] we’ve lost tapes. Now it is hard drives and it continues to change.”

The technology may change but Kopple’s own approach to documentary making remains exactly as it was when she directed her first Oscar winner, Harlan County, in the mid-1970s. She looks for “a good story” she feels passionately about and then tries “to shoot it beautifully, in whatever medium it is.”

Kopple came into the doc world in a roundabout way. She was a student in Boston, studying clinical psychology, and decided to make a film for her thesis. She came to New York to take a course on cinema verité. “The woman sitting next to me, we got to be friends.

She said I am working for these people called the Maysles brothers.

They’re looking for an intern. Would you be interested. I said yes!”

And so Kopple came to serve her apprenticeship with doc legends Albert and David Maysles. “Albert was more the technical one.

David did sound as well, but he was more the business person,” she remembers of the division of responsibility between them.

On the Maysles’ classic doc Salesman (1969), Kopple’s job was to do “what nobody else wanted to do.” In practice, this meant getting the mailing list from The Museum of Modern Art. (“That was virtually impossible, but I did it.”) On Rolling Stones doc Gimme Shelter (1970), her job was to hold the film magazines and the quarter-inch

tape. “Also, Al got on [assistant] Stan Goldstein’s shoulders. My job was to hold them up. I was the human tripod!”

The brothers gave her the opportunity to learn every aspect of her craft. “What the Maysles did for me at a very young age was to let me have confidence, to let me believe in myself. They valued who I was and valued my opinion.”

Over the years, Kopple has worked on films about some very strongwilled personalities. Occasionally, she admits, she has had to make tiny changes to her docs to keep them happy. “It’s very small things the characters don’t like. [Model and actress] Mariel Hemingway, when we had Running from Crazy here, didn’t like the way a pair of jeans fit her from behind so I snipped it. It’s not a big deal. Woody Allen for Wild Man Blues thought people would be really offended because he would shake their hands, and he has a phobia – then he would run and wash his hands. He asked if that could come out. It doesn’t change the story at all […] if it makes somebody happy, why not, if it doesn’t change the context,” she says.

Over the years, Kopple has made TV drama, feature films and commercials as well as docs. “They’re wonderful. They’re absolutely fun,” she says of her forays into fiction. “The first one I worked on that was fiction was Homicide: Life on the Street. [Actor] André Braugher said, ‘If this was a documentary, you’re just going to take one take and then we’d go home.’ I said no, a good documentarian stays until she gets everything! Yaphet Kotto, who played the head police chief, said: ‘I don’t really have any lines in this so I think I will just go to my honey wagon.’ I said no, Yaphet, these are your men and when the camera goes on you, that’s the money shot.”

Motley’s Law Danish director Nicole Nielsen Horanyi acknowledges that shooting Motley’s Law was a daunting prospect.

It involved filming for over two and a half years, with frequent trips to Afghanistan. Her family didn’t want her to go at all. “Very few people understood why I wanted to do this. Every trip, things got more and more tense in Kabul. There were many, many attacks and everybody was saying, “Why do you keep going back?”

She had been introduced to Kimberley Motley (the US lawyer working in Afghanistan) by a journalist. The original idea had been to make a doc looking at the legal system in Afghanistan and featuring several different lawyers. “When I came on board, I knew it was just going to be about Kim. She is such a big character. The position she has in Kabul as the only Western attorney with a licence to litigate is so unique.”

Horanyi was “less interested” in the political situation in Afghanistan than in Motley’s character and “how she lives her life between a war zone and this domestic bliss as a mother of three and a wife.”

EUROPEAN premiere

Motley herself was resistant to the idea of being the focus of the doc. “Are you done? Did you get enough material?”

Motley kept on asking the filmmakers. “No,” came back the same reply every time. “Time made it possible,” the director suggests of the softening of her subject’s attitude.

Slowly, the filmmaker and her subject became friends. “In the beginning, she [Motley] was very much not interested in us coming many times. She has been interviewed many times.

She is used to you asking questions, she answers and then you go home. But for this kind of observation-based documentary, you spend hours and hours filming people doing the same thing just because at some point you will be able to film something incredible because you are there.”

Horanyi shot more than 300 hours of material. She had expected that Motley would eventually be worn down by the sheer danger of everyday life in Kabul and say “I can’t do this anymore.” That would have provided a suitably dramatic turning point for the doc. The lawyer, though, was tough, resilient and didn’t come close to quitting. “I am not as tough as Kimberley. I got scared many times.”

Motley’s Law has now been licensed by sales agent LevelK to Al Jazeera America. More deals are pending and the film will go out in Danish cinemas in late January. Now, the director is turning her attention to a new film with the working title A Stranger in Town, a doc about a Danish con artist. There is no travelling involved, but the challenge this time for the director is to make sure the con artist doesn’t discover too soon that the film about him is being made. “We don’t want him to know yet… we don’t want his name out because he might jeopardise it.”

INTERNATIONAL premiere

Following on from his Masters selection The Arms Drop at IDFA last year (a tangled story of international intrigue that plays like a political thriller), Danish filmmaker Andreas Koefoed returns to the festival this year with mid-length competition contender At Home in the World, a study of a class of children at a school for asylum-seekers in Denmark at a time of increasing tensions around the themes of immigration and integration. A subject that gained spectacularly in topicality since the completion of the film, which is also included in IDFA’s Benjamin Barber: Jihad vs.

McWorld 2015 programme.

“I read an article about the school and it struck me that 80% of the kids in a class would change during a year,” Koefoed says of the genesis of the doc. “Some get residency, some are sent back to their home countries and some disappear, flee to another country where they hope to get asylum. I wondered, how does such instability and uncertainty affect the children in the class? How do they make friends when they all speak different languages, when nobody knows who is coming to school tomorrow?” He decided to focus in on one particular class (‘Orange class’) because of the character of the teacher, Dorte, and because at age ten to twelve the children made more responsive subjects. “I filmed around ten different kids in the class and finally chose those who had the most interesting stories and worked well on camera,” Koefoed explains.

Understandably protective of the (often traumatised) children, the school was naturally hesitant when first approached about the project. “I told them […] that I wanted to tell the kids’ stories and show how they adapt, and after watching my short film 12 Notes Down, they agreed and gave us full access,” Koefoed says.

Patiently and with great sensitivity, the film reveals the depth of the problems – practical and psychological – the children face. An epilogue reveals the varying fates of the young protagonists, all of whom face changing attitudes to asylum-seekers. “With the latest policies, refugees get very little support from the state,” Koefoed points out. “The government wants to motivate them to enter the labour market and take an active part in Danish society right away, but the problem is many refugees have no chance of getting a job – this is often hard even for well-educated Danes.

The result is they can hardly afford to pay rent and everyday expenses, their kids are not able to take part in sports and so on, which again makes integration into Danish society even more difficult...”

Of the film’s inclusion in IDFA’s special Benjamin Barber programme, which examines themes of global capitalism, terrorism, the politics of fear, refugees, populism and economic inequality in relation to the re-issue this year of Benjamin Barber’s 1995 book Jihad vs. McWorld, Koefoed says, “I am happy that he wanted to include it and I am happy if the film can add a perspective to the debate on refugees and a better understanding of their situation. The film is not a political document itself, but I think it is great if people can use it politically to make a statement of the importance of taking care of refugee children’s rights.”

What the juries said

Don Juan

IDFA 2015: the w Drawing Room

VPRO IDFA Award for Feature-Length Documentary

This tender, bittersweet tragicomedy about role-playing within both therapeutic theatre games and family dramas, and the interplay between them, is both subtle and aggressive, speaking volumes about the definitions of normality, abnormality and the dynamics of power and love. Elegantly and exquisitely sculptured, this is a film in which responsive direction, empathetic cinematography and sensitive editing come together in such a way that this jury already regards Don Juan as one of our future classics.

IDFA Special Jury Award for Feature-Length Documentary

This is a fascinating, humorous and universal portrait of a community trying to handle the frustrations and quarrels of everyday life and keep the peace, proceeding with ingenuity, patience, and common sense. With a sharp feeling for character, Ukrainian Sheriffs shows how a remote outpost can be greatly affected by larger circumstances, and remain immune to them in other ways. Direction and cinematography are aligned with the episodic storytelling in a detailed depiction of a rustic milieu that is uncertainly poised between ancient customs and an encroaching war.

The members of the jury were Laurent Bécue-Renard (France), Maite Alberdi (Chile), Hanna Polak (Poland), Jonathan Rosenbaum (USA), Barbara Visser (the Netherlands).

When the Earth Seems to be Light IDFA Award for Best First Appearance

A particular city, a flickering moment in life and a specific time in history are viewed through the eyes of youth who drift, almost invisibly, through a landscape of crumbling architecture and political protest.

Cinema contains many portraits of young masculinity but our experiential, expertly-crafted Grand Prize-winning film, When the Earth Seems to be Light, sees its outsider subjects differently. It finds within their apathy the visions of a different and better life.

IDFA Special Jury Award for First Appearance

In honour of Peter Wintonick Humour and pathos, history and social commentary coexist among scenes of carnage in the jury’s Peter Wintonick Prize winner. Set on the borders of Europe, it’s a film that essays love, freedom and the choices facing young people all over the world. A patient and observant picture, containing indelible imagery of both humans and animals alike, Roundabout in My Head finds worlds of meaning within the blood-stained chambers of an Algerian abattoir.

The jury for the IDFA Competition for First Appearance was made up of Gábor Hörcher (Hungary), Philippa Kowarsky (Israel), Scott Macaulay (USA), Menna Laura Meijer (the Netherlands) and David Wilson (USA).

At Home in the World IDFA Award for Mid-Length Documentary

We are especially pleased with a film that manages to humanize the issues we are so concerned about today. With great sensitivity and compassion for its characters, the director gives a face to the most vulnerable of refugees – children bravely coping with a new world. We were deeply moved by At Home in the World: a film that provides people everywhere with a slender ray of hope.

IDFA Special Jury Award for Mid-Length Documentary

Through powerful characters and a disciplined use of archive footage, The Fog of Srebrenica brings us very close to a painful episode in recent European history. The director beautifully structures the story with great sensitivity to his characters. The failure of the UN peacekeeping mission and the role of the Dutch in this incident are clearly and movingly documented.

The jury for the IDFA Competition for Mid-Length Documentary featured John Zaritsky (Canada), Diana Bustamante (Colombia), Tone Grøttjord-Glenne (Norway), Oeke Hoogendijk (the Netherlands) and Stanley Nelson (USA).

IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling

Our choice for the IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling gives users the opportunity to colour their experience and connect the dots with their imaginations. In a time when we can access anything online, it was welcome to hear a personal story, a point of view. Poetry, contemplation and emotions are pieces of a puzzle that fall naturally into place in Drawing Room by Jan Rothuizen and Sala Kolster.

IDFA DocLab Immersive Non-Fiction Award

For this new award, we chose a project that has simplicity at its heart. The tools used for this project are indeed state of the art: the real world and human imagination. At its core, it poses an urgent question: how do we learn to live together, to trust people who are different from us? Someone Else by Ant Hampton awkwardly challenges us with the idea that we can be characters in other people’s lives.

The IDFA DocLab Competition for Digital Storytelling jury featured Margaux Missika (France), Hay Kranen (the Netherlands) and Oscar Raby (Chile).

A Strange Love Affair with Ego

Beeld en Geluid IDFA Award for Dutch Documentary

We award a film that has a unique author’s voice. It blends reality and fantasy, pushing the boundaries of documentary filmmaking.

Beautifully photographed, experimental but masterful, the film finds an expression that is modern, with a very personal story. The author plays with some wide-ranging ideas about the nature of human beings, and takes risks with fearless filmmaking. The Beeld en Geluid IDFA Award for Dutch Documentary goes to A Strange Love Affair with Ego. IDFA Special Jury Award for Dutch Documentary

For the Special Jury Award, we selected a film that tells a beautiful multi-layered story. Filmed over a long period, it is both comprehensive and moving. Cinematic, with a richness of characters, a blend of humour and pathos, it comes from a young filmmaker who is someone to watch. There is a universality to A Family Affair that will make it accessible to audiences beyond the Netherlands.

The jury for the IDFA Competition for Dutch Documentary consisted of Emel Celebi (Turkey), Amy Dotson (USA), Don Edkins (South Africa), Diana El Jeiroudi (Syria) and Richard Liang (China).

e winners My Aleppo

ARRI IDFA Award for Best Student Documentary

The opening shot of My Aleppo immediately strikes us with a sense of leaving and longing, capturing the essence of the film. By showing the everyday life of a family who escaped from their war-torn home country, the director managed to touch deep into the topics of separation, melancholy, confusion and regret. A sad and beautiful film.

IDFA Special Jury Award for Student Documentary

A little boy skilfully manoeuvres through his complex and crazy living situation while the director captures his story using different filming tools in a very appropriate way. It is very interesting to see the interplay of the use of the camera between the protagonist and the director of photography. We appreciate the many filmic moments, the playfulness and magic interwoven in the film.

The Mute’s House is very open at the same time very well managed.

The jury was made up of: Jiri Konecny (Czech Republic), Prerana Langa (India) and Maria Mok (the Netherlands) made up the jury for the IDFA Competition for Student Documentary.

Ninnoc IDFA Award for Best Children’s Documentary

A poetic yet raw tale of a teenager’s fight to hold on to her identity, confronted with the heavy assimilating machinery of the group and of society as a whole. Both imagery and editing build a disarmingly honest portrait of a young woman searching for that liveable balance between the self and the others. Niki Padidar’s Ninnoc is a film that we believe will resonate with young audiences.

Special Mention

For a filmmaker who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, revealing the most intimate scenes to us. Set in the elegant yet merciless world of ballet, in which two young sisters try to live up to perfection, Varicella handles visuality and timing with the grace of a dancer of the utmost talent.

The IDFA Kids & Docs Competition jury consisted of Teodora Ana Mihai (Belgium), Jon Bang Carlsen (Denmark) and Mischa Kamp (the Netherlands).

Sonita IDFA DOC U Award

We were touched by the persistence after a lot of tough yet educational experiences that were shown in the movie. The main character could be role model to the youth, because of their positivity despite everything they have been through.

The involvement of the director made it a huge success. We believe Sonita is the film deserves to be the winner of this category.

Yunus Benli, Tim van Hoewijk, Marijn Huijers, Schiavone Simson and Lotte Tendijck were this year’s IDFA DOC U Competition’s youth jury.

The Oxfam Global Justice Award (€2,500) went to Pablo Iraburu and Migueltxo Molina for Walls (Spain).

Finally, the Alliance of Women Film Journalists’ EDA Award for Best Female-Directed Documentary was awarded to Motley’s Law by Nicole Nielsen Horanyi (Denmark), an IDFA Forum project in 2013.

This jury also awarded an honourable mention to A Strange Love Affair with Ego by Ester Gould.

Don Juan

WORLD premiere

“The best stories usually result from coincidences, accidental meetings and good luck”, says director Jerzy Sladkowski of his feature-length contender Don Juan, a kind of coming-of-age story about 22-year-old Oleg, who undergoes many kinds of therapy in an attempt to ‘make a man of him.’ “The first shooting period was a deep unprepared dive into the world of Russian psychiatric care, with no great expectations,” Sladkowski says.

“Russian producer Elena Petlarskaya and I happened to hear Oleg and his mother quarreling in a psychiatric clinic in Nizhny Novgorod about Oleg’s inability to fix up a date with a girl. We introduced ourselves and I shared some memories of my own romantic misfortunes – it was the beginning of a long-lasting friendship.”

Oleg is on screen throughout most of the film, so his relationship to the camera was clearly a crucial factor. “The presence of the camera does affect people’s behavior in one way or another,” Sladowski says.

“The one character who permanently tried to use the presence of the camera to his advantage was Oleg himself. We learned to ‘read’ Oleg after a couple of days. He always gave us the best material when he fell deeply into the essence of what was going on with him or around him, so the real shooting began when I let other people start doing things they were meant or expected to do, such as therapy, personal training, conversation, quarrels, flirting, you name it… This was possible thanks to the deep research done before shooting, which gave us knowledge about

people’s routines, plans, actions, wishes, expectations and characters.”

“By the end of shooting, Oleg was … very precious as a friend, more mature as a human being, and who knows, maybe a better documentary film creator than myself,” the director modestly infers.

“What happened? It’s very simple: we learned to ‘read’ him, but Oleg also learned to ‘read’ us. I seriously suspect he wasn’t fooling around as much as we thought – he was testing us as potential friends. I asked him about this. His response? He started to fool around, laughing.”

“After all these years, I feel I know less and less about how we affect people through our filmmaking,” Sladowski confesses.

“More and more often, I see myself as an entertainer rather than a teacher, taking viewers on a ride through the land of emotions and feelings I am eager to share with them.”

Rather than as a ‘feel good’ documentary, Sladowski sees Don Juan as “a ‘feel better’ documentary’” he says. “Hopefully my next film will reach the ‘feel good’ level – or maybe even ‘happy end.’” Mark Baker

IDFA Competition for Feature-Length Documentary

Ukrainian Sheriffs

WORLD premiere

They’re not exactly Starsky and Hutch. Victor is a former policeman.

Volodya keeps pigs. Together, they enforce the rule of law in the remote Ukrainian village of Stara Zburyivka, which has no official police force.

“The parents of my wife have a summer­ house not far from the village. We spent some time there,” director Roman Bondarchuk explains how he came across the unlikely law enforcement duo who feature in his documentary. He had already made a short film about the village mayor and his fight against the oligarchs who were “stealing” the “best lands near the sea shore to build their houses.”

In recent years, there have been many documentaries about the political turmoil in Ukraine and the country’s war with Russia. Bondarchuk offers a very different perspective on Ukrainian politics and society. “When we started first shooting, almost four years ago, it was a period of stagnation,” Bondarchuk recalls. “The country was corrupt and it was absolutely clear we [as Ukraine] were not moving anywhere.” Ukraine, he suggests, seemed stuck between its Soviet past and a grim new present, dominated by the oligarchs.

Bondarchuk felt it would be “absolutely boring” to make yet another film about then President Viktor Yanukovych and the “corrupted state.”

“But later on, when ‘Maidan’ [Ukrainian revolution] started and when the war started, we realised we couldn’t make a film without political context.”

The “sheriffs” initially found it “very annoying” to have filmmakers with cumbersome equipment following them as they went about their daily tasks. Gradually, though, they began to welcome Bondarchuk’s presence. “We are like friends now,” the director states.

Ukrainian Sheriffs (sold by Taskovski and supported by IDFA’s Bertha Fund) is intended to have a comic aspect – but for the humour to remain relatively understated. “It’s a very tricky thing,” the director reflects on the tone he set out to achieve. He wanted audiences to laugh with the sheriffs, not at them. There may be elements of the bizarre in what the officers encounter, but there are very dark aspects to their work too. “We call this movie a tragic documentary comedy,” Bondarchuk cheerfully explains. “This reality is very comical, but from another perspective it is very dramatic… it’s the only way to survive. You look on things with humour. They [the sheriffs] can make jokes out of terrible things. We [filmmakers] from the capital are from another reality. Can we do the same? I am not sure… Westerners accept this film as comedy more than me. I am bleeding when I am there and when I am trying to think about their future and the conditions they live in.” Geoffrey Macnab
