IDFA is unique for its international film programme, the variety of genres, its politically committed programme and the many European and world premieres featured each year. Add to that the presence of many filmmakers, sizeable audiences, all the discussions and debates, workshops, masterclasses and the experienced staff, and it's no wonder IDFA is the pre-eminent festival for creative documentaries.
Taking place from 20 until 30 November 2008 at various locations in Amsterdam. Check out all information on the documentaries and events at this year's IDFA on the IDFA website.
Mediamatic is organizing their famous Any Meta Documentary Workshop in collaboration with IDFA from November 21-November 26, as well as a Doing Docs Differently lecture evening with Cassian Harrison and Maartje Nevejan on November 21.
