The field of immersive and interactive media is rapidly evolving, with professionals from diverse disciplines such as artists, creative technologists, curators, researchers, and producers shaping its future. IDFA's section for new media, DocLab, is helping to lead the way by scouting, commissioning and showcasing the best interactive and immersive documentary works. Top projects will be showcased in the annual DocLab exhibition and live public and industry events in November. 

IDFA aims to support the creative work of filmmakers and create a space for free artistic expression. Through several training programs and funding schemes, filmmakers can develop their projects, their careers, and themselves. During IDFA, there is a special program for IDFAcademy participants.

We are also proud to present our harvest of films supported by IDFA Bertha Fund, IDFA Forum and our training programs.

IDFA organises two key markets for filmmakers, producers and industry professionals: IDFA Forum and Docs for Sale.
