IDFA FORUM

IDFA FORUM is the largest and most influential meeting place for documentary filmmakers, producers, commissioning editors, funds, private financiers and other documentary stakeholders in Europe. We exist to help facilitate the financing of important, unique and ground-breaking creative documentaries, whether these be single docs, series or emerging new media formats. Like IDFA itself, the FORUM puts the creative documentary first, and our focus is continually trained upon a shifting documentary landscape in which cross-media projects are becoming as prevalent as traditional linear documentaries. During the three days of the FORUM approximately 50 independent producer/director teams pitch their projects (selected in advance by FORUM doc experts) within different pitch set-ups determined by subject matter, stage of financing and stage of development.
