USPA NEWS -
Every November, the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) transforms the city centre into a paradise for documentary film fans. From 14 to 25 November 2012, the 25th edition of the event will treat documentary lovers to the latest and greatest domestic and international arrivals.
A world of discovery at IDFA
No other festival in the world brings together so many great films, devoted fans and talented film makers in one place, making IDFA one of the world's leading documentary film festivals. The films presented at IDFA all have their stories to tell. These are extraordinary stories about life - often revealing and moving, they can also be shocking or funny.
A global perspective
With around 300 international documentaries on offer, IDFA's programming provides a look at the world from a variety of unique perspectives. Taking viewers to some of the world's poorest and wealthiest places, the documentaries featured are often as poetic as they are powerful.

Although the films tend to deal with a wide range of issues, each entry prompts viewers to reconsider the world around them, often provoking debate. IDFA is therefore also a lively meeting place for film-makers and audiences alike, with numerous in-conversation events on the programme. Each edition of IDFA offers an inspiring confrontation of art, film and social debate.
