has selected a diverse lineup for IDFA Forum, the festival’s co-production and co-financing market, which will be entirely online this year. Among the 63 projects to pitch at IDFA Forum, there is a strong representation of female pitch teams.
“F@ck This Job,” directed by Vera Krichevskaya, follows Natalya Sindeyeva, who in 2008 decided to open an independent TV station, Dozhd, in Putin’s Russia. By 2020, she had lost everything. Among the established filmmakers in the lineup are Maria Ramos, whose film “Desi” won IDFA’s Audience Award in 2000. She directs “Justice Under Suspicion,” which looks at the rise of fascism in Brazil and the role of the judiciary.
