The goal of IDFA Bertha Fund - Europe is to stimulate European audiovisual operators to coproduce documentaries with independent producers from countries on the DAC list, thus realizing documentaries with a potential to circulate and reach an international audience. In addition, the program supports the distribution of documentaries from developing countries with international potential in order to increase the circulation of documentaries by creating a space for innovative plans that will be carried out in addition to traditional distribution. IDFA Bertha Fund - Europe supports the production and distribution of feature-length creative documentaries from developing countries with international distribution potential that are being made through a coproduction between producers on the DAC list and a European producer. The IDFA Bertha Fund encourages the development of documentaries that actively search for an audience and look for new possibilities in a changing market. By supporting distribution plans that respond to this changing market and using digital platforms, innovative outreach campaigns and social media, the IDFA Bertha Fund Europe seeks to reach a larger audience for the supported documentaries.European producers are encouraged by IDFA Bertha Fund – Europe to produce globally and to build a wide network. This leads to a new cooperation between Europe and third countries in which market knowledge is gained and exchanged. By IDFA Bertha Fund – Europe sustainable networks are forged between European producers and non-Western filmmakers. Therefore, global production is facilitated and will occur more frequently.In the field of distribution, the new distribution market is being explored through trial and error. New distribution models will be implemented combining traditional and innovative distribution. The experiences of these distribution models can then serve as a blueprint for future projects to actively encourage the distribution of documentaries.
