As IDFA Forum is now confirmed to take place in Amsterdam from 20 to 26 November, the event has revealed the list of the projects selected for this year’s edition. “I’m incredibly excited about the film and new media projects we’ve selected for IDFA Forum” said Adriek van Nieuwenhuijzen, head of IDFA Industry.

“The ingenuity of filmmaker teams developing unique and cinematic projects, despite an ongoing pandemic, is truly a hopeful sign for the future of creative documentary. Within the selection, we found promising and inspiring collaborations between directors and producers that cut across cultures and borders,” she added, mentioning the launch of the Producers Connection at the Forum, described as an “intimate breeding ground for projects in the right stage to forge strong international partnerships and enter into fair co-productions.”

, Paul B. Preciado turns to essay filmmaking, inspired by Virginia Woolf’s work, and in Bride in Search of Happiness, Tea Vidović Dalipi is set to bring an observational portrait of a Croatian-Roma couple as they navigate parenthood amidst culturally disparate societies in conflict. Meanwhile, the debut feature by Pasquale Remia, For All My Sins, explores ancient folk rituals that live on in Southern Italy.

Fifteen projects in early stages have been selected for the inaugural edition of the Producers Connection, the Forum’s new section for fostering international co-productions. It includes New Life, which sees Russian director Alexander Kuznetsov coming together with French producer Rebecca Houzel to tell the next chapter in the life of Kuznetsov’s long-documented protagonists. Seven projects have been selected for this year’s Rough Cut Presentations at the Forum, with Brotherhood by Hanka Nobis diving into the growing alt-right movement in Poland and The Flag by Joseph Paris reflecting on the aftermath of the 2015 Paris attacks.

The market’s new media strand IDFA DocLab Forum will present thirteen projects in all stages of development and production, including Ondřej Moravec’s interactive VR documentary Darkening, on the potential of vocalisations to cope with depression. The market will also welcome four projects from the IDFA DocLab Research & Development Program, such as Kaspar, the latest documentary work from Piotr Winiewicz.
