IDFA Project Space is now open for applications! Launched in 2020 by IDFA’s Filmmaker Support department, this innovative talent development program offers first- or second-time documentary directors the opportunity to work on their project with highly esteemed filmmakers and film professionals who are willing to share their knowledge and experience with emerging talent. In 2022, the program is spread over four months, from June to September, with two online modules and one in-person week in Amsterdam. Filmmakers will have the chance to engage in a continuous process of growth with a program that flexibly adjusts to their individual needs through individual consultancies, inspirational talks, group mentoring, and more. Apply by March 20, 2022 to be considered.
Program alumni have included acclaimed films such as Where Are We Headed, Children of the Mist, and Taming the Garden. Former tutors have included Pirjo Honkasalo, Ollie Huddleston, Anne Fabini, Gladys Joujou, Niels Pagh Andersen, Kim Longinotto, and Audrius Stonys.
