The Institute of Documentary Film (IDF) is once again heading to the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), taking place from November 13–23, 2025.
Led by our Programme Director Veronika Janatková and Ex Oriente Film Manager Anna Kaslová, the IDF Delegation brings together a group of documentary professionals from Central and Eastern Europe, including IDF board members Ivana Pauerová Miloševičová, Filip Remunda, and Tereza Horská.
The delegation will represent the Central and Eastern European documentary region across key IDFA industry platforms. Members will showcase their films at Docs for Sale, the festival’s premiere marketplace for documentaries seeking sales, distribution, and exhibition partners. They will also participate as Observers at the IDFA Forum and join the Producers Connection, providing opportunities for networking and collaboration.
