Meet our partners
IDFA believes in the power of documentary film to shed light on unknown stories and to bring awareness to a wider audience. But most importantly, IDFA strives to strengthen the international documentary climate by focusing more than ever on documentary film as an art form and supporting filmmakers from all over the world to tell their story.
Partners are crucial for a festival like IDFA. As the largest documentary film festival in the world, IDFA cannot exist without the support of Friends, Special Friends, and other donors.
"IDFA has always been, and continues to be, the main festival for documentaries that show us what's going on in the world and push the barriers of innovative and artistic cinema. Our partnership with the festival has felt logical from the start: Topic wise, this is exactly what we write about in our newspaper, both in the news and arts section. But it's more than that: IDFA is also a community, a social gathering that our readers from all over the country very much feel part of."
- Bor Beekman, film journalist de Volkskrant
“For us, IDFA is the most important platform to bring our mission to the attention of a large audience. Documentary films are also ideal for reflecting on urgent social issues with an engaged audience. We were also delighted with the hybrid screenings in Pathé Tuschinski, which allowed us to expand our reach even further.
IDFA and Oxfam Novib find overlap in our objective of reaching more young people and bringing them into contact with various themes and organizations—a goal we collaborate on throughout the year.”
- Linda van Veldhuizen, Event Coordinator Oxfam Novib
"'Our annual IDFA event with clients is a great success every time. Marloes ensures that the evenings are well organized and selects documentaries that seamlessly match our wishes. We are already looking forward to the next edition.”
- Loretta Dashorst, Office Director AC&R (Club IDFA member)
