This is a fantastic festival! The entire city center becomes the host of this documentary festival. The important documentaries of each year are part of the program. The movies are from many different countries and address many different topics, in different formats, really, there is something for every taste: from the full-length sensible documentary, to the most light-hearted short film. The only thing I can regret is that it has become a victim of its success, and it’s now difficult to get tickets for the good movies, you really need to buy them weeks in advance. Well, now you and I know it for next year!

This is one of the(if not THE) best documentary film festivals in world. For about 10 days every year in November, Amsterdam becomes the best place on the planet to see documentary films from many countries. There are also panel discussions, happy hours, a film market, and other events. The films are shown at theaters in central Amsterdam such as the amazing art-deco Tuschinski cinema as well as the Pathe Munt nearby. The people of Amsterdam are very welcoming and are great hosts for the people who visit the IDFA each year. Worth the journey if you are into documentaries!
