Club IDFA

Club IDFA

Club IDFA is the festival's business club and offers your company a unique opportunity to connect with relations, staff and prospects through film. During the festival you can enjoy exclusive privileges and organize exclusive relationship screenings at The Documentary Pavilion where you can choose a documentary that suits your event. IDFA always provides documentaries with the necessary context. With each screening we investigate how we can shape a substantive discussion with a filmmaker, an expert or a speaker within your own company. This provides material for chatting over drinks, which allows you to deepen the bond with your relations; it creates slightly different conversations than you are used to. Support IDFA as a Club IDFA member and make an indispensable contribution to the largest and leading documentary festival in the world. Every year, 300 quality documentaries and new media projects are selected from over 4,000 entries. The majority of the documentaries will have their world premiere during the festival.
