Documentary Festival IDFA Selects 55 Projects From 820 Entries for Industry Section Forum
Leading documentary festival IDFA has selected 55 projects from 820 entries for the 32nd edition of co-production and co-financing market IDFA Forum.
In an “intriguing cinematic exercise that straddles fiction and documentary, the film seeks to lay bare intricate workings of domination and manipulation,” as ex-members of the notorious Christian sect Faderhuset direct scenes with well-known Danish actors, including Trine Dyrholm and David Dencik. The crop of projects features a range of styles, including observational and investigative films, along with small, intimate stories, such as the tender and humorous “The Beauty of Errors” by Jukka Kärkkäinen, and larger geopolitical narratives, such as “The Eighth Continent” by Luuk Bouwman and Tomas Kaan. An array of projects also play with form, notably Kristof Bilsen’s “The Apologist,” Anu Czerwiński’s “Home Movie,” Yara Costa’s “Looking for the Mermaid,” and Ibrahim Omar’s “Dry Sky,” which received IDFA Bertha Fund support.
