Club IDFA

Club IDFA

Club IDFA is the business club of the film festival and offers your company the opportunity to use film in special contact moments with staff, relations and prospects. During the festival, you enjoy exclusive privileges and in September IDFA organizes an inspiring and special film preview where Club IDFA members can meet and enjoy documentaries and post-screening interviews. This preview in the main hall of the Royal Theater Tuschinski in Amsterdam offers you the chance to invite relations, clients and associates. In the brand new Het Documentaire Paviljoen, you can organize exclusive relationship screenings throughout the year where you choose a documentary that suits your event. Documentaries are always provided with the necessary context by IDFA. At each screening, we examine how we can design a substantive discussion with, for example, a filmmaker, an expert on the film's topic or a speaker from your own company. This provides food for thought and allows you to deepen the bond with your contacts; it creates a different kind of conversation than you might be used to. Support IDFA by becoming a member of Club IDFA and deliver an indispensable contribution to the world's largest and leading documentary festival. Every year, 300 documentary films and new media projects are selected from over 4.000 submissions. Most of these documentaries have their opening night during IDFA. Members of Club IDFA support the festival with a contribution starting from €6.500 a year.
