IDFA 2018

In less than a month IDFA 2018 will kick off. What Cannes Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival are to feature films, IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival) is for documentaries: an international event where producers, directors, critics and lovers of documentaries meet and celebrate wonderful new works. Since its establishment, IDFA has become the biggest documentary film festival in the world. Expect lots of discussions, debates and of course, a lot of in-dept, exciting, funny, sad and happy screenings.

IDFA has some special programs including IDFA Junior with a selection of films for kids and families and Volkskrant Magazine Day: documentaries selected by editors or the magazines on themes such as love, food and fashion.
