Orwa Nyrabia, the artistic director of leading documentary festival IDFA in Amsterdam, will step down from his position on July 1, which is the end of his present term. IDFA’s focus on expanding global representation in the sector was a key factor throughout his tenure, and is now embedded in all its decision-making, “making it a gathering where the film community in all its diversity meets up and feels at home,” the festival said. I am grateful for having been trusted to do this, to work with such a great team, and I will gradually, and happily, return soon to the other side, that of those sending their ideas, films, and funding applications and waiting anxiously, and critically, for answers.
