The IDFA Forum is a large meeting place for documentary filmmakers, producers, commissioning editors, funds, private financiers and other documentary stakeholders in Europe.. The IDFA Forum is the place where broadcasters, co-producers, distributors, film funds and sales agents can identify, isolate and invest in the creative documentary product that will form the basis of their ongoing business.The public pitch formats consist of the traditional Central Pitches and the more intimate Round Table set up. Approximately 20 Central Pitch projects and 25 Round Table Pitch projects are selected each year. The Forum organises a further 800 one-on-one meetings between filmmaking teams and parties who express a strong interest in their project.Central Pitches take place in the main hall of Amsterdam’s Compagnietheater, where some 25 commissioning editors from leading international broadcasters are in attendance, alongside 300 observers. This pitch set-up offers maximum exposure for you and your project. In the Round Table set-up, which also includes the Docs4Cinema pitches and the work in progress screenings, projects at any stage of development (from script to rough cut) and with or without funding are pitched within an intimate setting to a small group of commissioning editors, and other financiers who have indicated a specific interest in the project.
