About the Festival

The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam was founded in 1988 in order to stimulate the national and international documentary culture. Since its foundation, IDFA has developed into the largest documentary film festival in the world.
Every year, IDFA presents the best documentaries, selected from a huge field. This selection is made on the basis of clear criteria. In short, IDFA looks for documentaries that are interesting from a stylistic point of view, or are particularly innovative, relevant to social issues and successfully manage to communicate with their audiences.

Requirements

Films must be submitted in their original language with English subtitles (16mm, 35mm comopt, commag).
Entries must have been produced during the 15 months before festival and must not have been previously screened or broadcast in the Netherlands.

Awards

An international jury will award the Joris Ivens award to the winning film. A separate video jury will award the Silver Wolf to the best video.
