Forum continues to be a key market for nonfiction professionals to not only gain interest for a project and raise funds, but also a space to network and get feedback.
The access to key gatekeepers in the docu arena makes admission into the Forum fiercely competitive. This year the festival looked at more than 800 submissions from across the globe. But, according to IDFA industry head, there aren’t any specific benchmarks a project must meet to gain acceptance. “We are of course interested in the big issues of our time,” says van Nieuwenhuijzen. “So, the war in the Ukraine is present in different projects, but we really want to stay away from the pure journalistic type of documentaries. Instead, we want to have that personal artistic gaze on what’s happening around us in the world.”
New to this year’s Forum is the expansion of the IDFA DocLab Forum, a showcase of 20 interactive and XR titles, from one day to two days.
