The 39th edition of IDFA – the world’s biggest nonfiction film festival – is underway in Amsterdam, gathering the documentary field’s top talents, Oscar seekers and emerging filmmakers with dynamic work.
“It’s hectic, all the last-minute things,” artistic director Isabel Arrate Fernandez told Deadline just before the kickoff. “From the lineup competitions to also the industry program we have, there are many exciting things going on.”
The opening night slot Friday evening goes to White Tiger Column, a world premiere directed by Robert Mentov, Dwight Jantzi, and Bryan Dickie that’s set within the resistance movement opposing Myanmar’s military-dominated regime.
