Welcome to the 27th International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam! Over the course of 12 days, IDFA is once again celebrating the creative documentary in the heart of Amsterdam. The festival is screening over 300 documentaries, ranging from the latest films from all over the world to carefully selected classics. The program is divided into three categories. The competitions (marked in blue throughout this guide and on our website) showcase IDFA’s discoveries: the best new films that are having their European or World Premiere at the festival. Our annual non-competitive sections (marked in green) include the best new films by the grand masters of documentary and the cream of the crop from the international festival circuit. While these two main sections give a birds-eye view of today’s world, several theme programs (marked in orange) ask how we look at the world, questioning the documentary genre in various ways. For more information about the various program sections, turn to page 16. 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 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. And with the IDFAcademy program, we help up-and-coming filmmakers to hone their skills. For more info on these initiatives, turn to page 124.

El sol del membrillo Victor Erice
As part of the theme program Of Media and Men, IDFA’s Paradocs is showing Aernout Mik’s film installation Raw Footage. For every minute of footage we see on the news, reporters shoot a multitude of images that can’t be used. Mik compiled his two screen installation from such rushes, shot during the war in former Yugoslavia. These culled materials lay bare aspects of war that otherwise are seldom shown: boredom, chaos and futility.

As part of the theme program Of Media and Men, IDFA’s Paradocs is showing Aernout Mik’s film installation Raw Footage. For every minute of footage we see on the news, reporters shoot a multitude of images that can’t be used. Mik compiled his two screen installation from such rushes, shot during the war in former Yugoslavia. These culled materials lay bare aspects of war that otherwise are seldom shown: boredom, chaos and futility.
Film screening followed by a concert from Eric Vaarzon Morel, who’ll give an affectionate tribute to Paco de Lucía (1947-2014), the greatest flamenco guitar virtuoso of all time. Morel: “Every guitarist owes a debt to Paco de Lucía. In his playing he brought together everything that came before him and made it better, more beautiful, broader, more powerful.” November 22, 11:00 | Melkweg – Rabozaal

Paco de Lucía: A Journey + Live: Eric Vaarzon Morel
The Possibilities Are Endless + Live: Edwyn Collins “I’ve never known a girl like you before,” sang Edwyn Collins in A Girl Like You, the huge hit that brought him worldwide success. But following two strokes in 2005 the Scottish singer was barely able to function. Wonders never cease, though, as is shown not only by the film following Collins over the course of his long and difficult recovery, but also by the living proof of the singer himself who will give a concert after the film.

Wolflady + Live: Kovacs Sharon Kovacs is the great pop hope of the Netherlands. Her dark musical style and deep voice have inspired comparisons with Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Amy Winehouse, and Shirley Bassey. Her single My Love was quickly snapped up for radio play and a debut album is on the way. She will perform a live concert following the screening of this documentary portrait.

A feelgood memoire devoted to glam rockers Twisted Sister, taking viewers back to early 1970s club scene in and around New York City, when the band wreaked havoc on stage in hot pants and make up. It’s an infectious, immersive experience of the distorted reality of a group that’s still very much alive and kicking. Guitarist and founder Jay Jay French will introduce the film and answer questions afterwards.
Nail polish, lipstick, jewelry: nothing is too much for Dutch musical wonder Jett Rebel. He draws audiences like a bona fide star, with talent and charisma to match. But that’s just the outside: Jett Rebel is an alter ego, dreamt up by shy twenty-something Jelte Tuinstra: “When I’m performing, I am more interesting, more self-assured.” The audience can judge for themselves, as Jett Rebel will perform after the screening.

to no avail, Virtual Reality is suddenly on the brink of a breakthrough. By wearing a VR headset such as the Oculus Rift, audiences become completely immersed and can look around freely inside a moving 360-degree image. It’s an revolutionary and unforgettable experience, one that many consider the new frontier of gaming and filmmaking. But dystopian questions are also raised: how far do we want to immerse ourselves in a digital reality that mentally removes us from the physical world around us? If anything, Virtual Reality today is a new medium in search of its own specific language. DocLab: Immersive Reality brings together the pioneers creating that language – with landmark projects such as Assent, Clouds, Zero Point, Strangers with Patrick Watson, The Machine to Be Another and a commissioned series of VR experiments by Oscar Raby and Fisheye. Try them out in the Virtual Reality Screening Room at De Brakke Grond and meet the artists behind them at the conference and live events.

The Look of Silence is the sequel to Oppenheimer’s renowned The Act of Killing. After the film, Remco Meijer, journalist of the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, speaks with Oppenheimer about this confrontation, his process of filmmaking and the real-world consequences of the two films.

After the film, Dutch TV presenter Daphne Bunskoek speaks with Damon Gameau about his role in his own film and the consequences of consuming sugar.

The Forecaster by Marcus Vetter Martin Armstrong is a man with an entrepreneurial spirit and an analytical ability that is far too complicated for others. Using a self-designed model, Armstrong was able to calculate developments in the world economy. His predictions were eerily accurate, and he built up a clientele of powerful players in the global economy. This made him a lot of money, but also a lot of enemies in high places; he even landed in prison. After the screening, editor-in-chief of Dutch multimedia platform Follow the Money Eric Smit speaks with director Marcus Vetter and protagonist Martin Armstrong about this David and Goliath story at the summit of the financial world.

After the screening, editor of Dutch magazine Vrij Nederland Harm Ede Botje speaks with directors Søren Steen Jespersen and Nasib Farah about the young radical Muslims in Western European cities, and why some become jihadists and others don’t. Presented by Vrij Nederland magazine.
Four young men, all from the slums of São Paulo, have one mission in life. Without any safety gear, they scale tall buildings to spray-paint their names and slogans criticizing society. Are these men artists, anarchists or criminals? A dynamic, hand-held camera follows the boys in their daily lives, at work, on the street, at home in the favela or at night during their climbs or their raids for copper.

Starting Off Like a Rocket with Phie Ambo and Teodora Ana Mihai The Industry Talks and IDFAcademy program kick off together with an inspiring conversation between renowned filmmaker Phie Ambo (Good Things Await) and upcoming talent Teodora Ana Mihai (Waiting for August). Ambo’s first feature documentary Family won the Joris Ivens Award at IDFA 2001. She has been a highly prolific filmmaker ever since, completing 10 films in the last decade. Mihai is at the beginning of her career, debuting as a director this year with Waiting for August, which already won awards at important festivals like Karlovy Vary and Hotdocs. Both their careers started off like a rocket, debuting with a film that gained major success worldwide. How defining is your first film for the rest of your career? How do you determine your own signature? And do you dare to do so in your debut? Moderator: Cecilia Lidin (Swedish Film Institute) Guests: Phie Ambo (Good Things Await), Teodora Ana Mihai (Waiting for August) November 20, 15:00 | De Brakke Grond – Rode Zaal

Researchers, filmmakers, editors and other film professionals will discuss issues around the role of women behind and in front of the camera. Domitilla Olivieri (Utrecht University) will present an overview of the representation of women in documentaries.

INDUSTRY TALKS
Industry Talks
Branded Documentaries: Artistic Freedom vs. the Color of Money Branded funding is a hot topic in the documentary industry. What are the success stories and pitfalls of using funding by a brand or NGO for your film? Brian Newman, a producer and marketing and distribution consultant, has first-hand experience with this way of financing. The production and distribution of DamNation, screening at IDFA this year, was funded by outdoor clothing chain Patagonia. Newman gives an overview of the different opportunities and models that are in use. What is the reality of working with brands? Are you selling your soul to the devil or is this a lifesaver for documentaries? How can you keep your own creative freedom without being influenced by a brand’s limitation? Why are brands funding and distributing films? How can you make it work for you as a filmmaker or producer? Newman will address the ethical questions that arise when working in this way. Keynote: Brian Newman (Sub-Genre) November 23, 15:00 | De Brakke Grond – Rode Zaal
Short Cuts to the Future With new platforms emerging and old media changing, new options for content creators are arising. Journalistic websites are focusing more of their efforts on developing video content, using short docs as their main form of expression. Never before have short docs had such an important
Program Guide
role or so many viewers. Why is that? Various media outlets that have embraced the short doc will present their work, their strategies and their ideas on presenting short docs. Is their decision to choose this form driven by editorial decisions, or are they mainly using short docs to reach new audiences? And what are the benefits and challenges in creating online content for a filmmaker? On the one hand, these options bring new audiences, funding possibilities, partners and communities. But on the other hand you have to deal with a different culture regarding copyright, editorial control and the immediate feedback of the entire world. What is the ideal format for a short web doc? Are short docs the future? Moderator: Martijn Winkler (DDG) Guests: Charlie Phillips (The Guardian), Jason Spingarn-Koff (The New York Times), Sjoerd Raaijmakers (Vice NL), Jos de Putter (de Correspondent), Jigar Mehta (AJ+) November 24, 15:00 | De Brakke Grond – Rode Zaal
Selling Your Rights: Do’s and Don’ts To sell or not to sell. How do you deal with the rights to your film? New windows and distribution tools pop up everywhere, creating a lot of new possibilities. But they don’t make it any easier for filmmakers trying to find their way through this jungle of deals and contracts. Calum Gray (Independent Film, UK) is an experienced sales agent who can tell you all about the do’s
119
and don’ts of handling film rights. Which rights do you keep for yourself and which do you put in the hands of others? What do you do in various territories? How do you divide royalties? Gray gives you tips and tricks, and talks about what to be aware of in the next few years given the current market predictions. Moderator: Lilla Hurst (Drive TV) Guest: Calum Gray (Independent Films) November 25, 15:00 | De Brakke Grond – Rode Zaal
A reflection on today’s documentaries by Bill Nichols What social forces determine what movies are made in general, and what could that say about today’s world? Renowned documentary theorist, journalist and professor Bill Nichols, writer of the classroom standard Introduction to Documentary, will reflect on the state of documentary today. Not only in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of content. Has the rise of the documentary to utterly unanticipated heights in the last few decades been at the expense of documentary purity or a liberation from documentary rigidity? Have major funding sources become like major studios: institutions with their own social agendas who find filmmakers to promote their perspective? To what degree are questions of empowerment, effectiveness or impact a double edged sword when they arrive in top down form from funding sources? What is a reasonable expectation in terms of social impact for a film, or for documentaries in general? Nichols will give a philosophical insight into how documentaries interact with the world around them. Moderator: Neil Young (The Hollywood Reporter) Guest: Bill Nichols (Film Quarterly, San Francisco State University)

MARKETS, FUNDING AND TRAINING
IDFA Bertha Fund
IDFA has a major role in fostering new documentary talent. The IDFAcademy program during the festival and several workshops and training programs throughout the year educate up-and-coming filmmakers. The resulting films are shown at the festival, along with other creative documentaries by new talents, most notably in the festival’s First Appearance and Student Competitions.
IDFAcademy Results at IDFA 2014
During the festival, IDFAcademy offers an intensive four-day training program for emerging filmmakers and producers from EU countries. In a range of plenary sessions, workshops and master classes, such subjects as how to build an effective trailer or festival strategies are discussed by renowned experts from the documentary field. This years program kicks off with an Industry Talk by directors Phie Ambo and Teodora Ana Mihai (see page 118), and further includes the by now legendary Pitch and Trailer Workshop and a Meet the Professionals Special with documentary grand master Nick Broomfield.

In addition, three initiatives held throughout the year focus on the development of specific film projects. In both the IDFA-Mediafonds Workshop and the Kids & Docs Workshop, aspiring Dutch filmmakers develop a rough idea into a ready-toshoot film plan. In the intensive six-day program of the IDFAcademy Summer School, international upcoming talents – including several whose films are supported by the IDFA Bertha Fund – develop projects at the script or editing stage. These various initiatives form part of a continuous whole, which comes to fruition during the festival. Participants from the various workshops meet each other and continue their ongoing conversation about the documentary form. Projects that originated or were developed at one of the workshop programs are screened at the festival, bringing the importance of IDFA’s continuing attention for developing talents into clear focus.
