Call for applications: IDFA Project Space NL 2023

    IDFA Project Space NL is now open for applications! During the annual training program, six documentary talents are professionally guided to develop a film plan with accompanying visual material. This several-month workshop aims to assist talented filmmakers in their development and contribute to the creation of an artistic, high-quality development plan for a short documentary, a 55-minute documentary, or longer. The workshop is enriched with several international components, but participants must have command of the Dutch language in both speaking in writing. IDFA Project Space NL is supported by the NPO Fund.
