The world’s premier market for creative documentary cinema
Docs for Sale facilitates the sales and distribution of high-end documentary films, providing one-on-one meetings, bespoke services, and strategic know-how for IDFA-selected films as well as other outstanding titles on today's market. Over the years, it has grown into one of the world’s premier markets and distribution incubators for documentary cinema, welcoming artistic documentary films from all over the world.
The market is open to films that target cinema, television, and online audiences, facilitating one-on-one meetings between film teams and buyers, festival programmers, sales agents, and distributors, in addition to offering bespoke services for films looking to maximize their launch and exposure at IDFA.
Throughout the year, buyers, distributors, and festival programmers with an online viewing subscription can access the Docs for Sale catalogue digitally, remotely, and at their own leisure, while connecting with the rights holders directly. A subscription also includes accreditation to the Docs for Sale premier market and distribution incubator services in Amsterdam during the festival in November. A one-year online viewing subscription costs €160 (excl. 21% VAT) and is valid for 12 months from the time of payment. Learn more.
