Guest Services

Every year IDFA welcomes over 2300 delegates at the festival, its markets and the IDFAcademy program. Filmmakers, producers, distributors, financiers and other documentary professionals come to Amsterdam to enjoy documentaries and to do business in a friendly atmosphere in the old centre of Amsterdam. IDFA is a great opportunity to network, to gain up to date market information or to hang out with your fellow documentary professionals from all over the world.
