Accreditation
You need to fill in an accreditation form in order to register and obtain a pass. You need a MyIDFA account to access this form. In the accreditation form you can indicate you wish to attend IDFA as an IDFAcademy participant by filling in a motivation and CV/Resume. IDFA will make a selection on the basis of this information.
Group accreditations for film schools are allowed, but each applicant should register individually.
The film school representative should contact Yorinde Segal. Teachers from film schools cannot obtain an IDFAcademy pass. Special access to IDFAcademy as an observer is possible for teachers when permission is granted in advance.
