IDFA media Talks

IDFA is a film festival, but it is also a meeting place where filmmakers, experts and audiences exchange ideas in debates, master classes, and Q&A sessions. This year sees the addition of the IDFA Congres to this roster of inspiring events.

Masterclass Victor Kossakovsky

A Masterclass with a rare Master. Kossakovsky is Documentary’s Rembrandt. Beginning with The Belovs (1994) this reality poet has painted with exquisite light. From St. Petersburg, he’s a brilliant conceptual CinemArtist. He’s created many Master-”Pieces”: He forbade his son from seeing himself in a mirror (Svyato). He filmed people born on his own birth date in 1961 (Sreda). He shot out of his apartment window for a whole year (Hush!). He poked his camera-arrow directly through the heart-core center of the Earth to connect us all together (¡Vivan las Antipodas!). This year, Kossakovsky has curated IDFA’s Top 10. His selections range from Flaherty’s Man of Aran to Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera. From Leonard Retel Helmrich to Alexander Sokurov’s Spiritual Voices. Using those selections and films from his own retrospective, Victor showers us with dialectic humour and wisdom, he gets to the heart of documentary. He dissects the thesis and the antitheses of his work; what he’s learned, what’s not be learned. His cinemanifesto begins with an aphorism: Don’t film if you can live without filming. With introduction, moderation and provocation by Peter Wintonick. Friday 16 November, 11:00 - 12:45 | Tuschinski 1 | ticket purchase required

Extended Q&A’s

Nearly all filmmakers with films in the IDFA program get a chance to meet their audiences at Q&A sessions after screenings. But twenty films are given a special focus with extended Q&A sessions with stimulating directors, experts and specialized moderators present. This allows panelists

and audiences to engage in deeper discussions about the issues that the films illuminate. For example, Propaganda is a mysterious found film from North Korea. Or is it? Yung Chang’s The Fruit Hunters is a quest for biodiversity. Michael Singh’s Valentino’s Ghost will have Arabist expert Petra Stienen reflecting on the changing image of Arabs and Muslims in the media. General Roméo Dallaire, UN Force Commander during the Rwandan genocide, now works on the issue of child soldiers, and joins us with Fight Like Soldiers, Die Like Children. Nagieb Khaja, an Afghani Danish journalist, gives mobile cameras to ordinary citizens in My Afghanistan: Life in the Forbidden Zone. Maziar Bahari (Forced Confessions) invites special guests from Iran and Syria. Director Jim Bruce and OECD economist Bill White take us on an economic roller-coaster with Money For Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve. Jakeb Anhu’s Blush of Fruit brings us to the heart of darkness in a suspect orphanage in central Viet-Nam. Other titles include Free the Mind, Evocateur, Poor consuelo conquers the world, The secret of HEMA, Mea Maxima Culpa, Wrong Time Wrong Place, When Heroes Lie, The king Jari Litmanen, Winter Go Away. Various days and times following select screenings, see the schedule in this guide | ticket purchase required

Industry Panels

For all guests who wish to sharpen their awareness of the documentary industry and get up to speed with its latest developments, IDFA is organizing a dozen Industry Panels. The Industry Panels delve into a wide range of topics, including “Distribution in Europe and China”, “Short Films”, “Documentaries in the Arabic-Speaking World”, “Outreach” and many more. All Industry Panels take place in the Engelenbak (located International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam

Voorwerk PG12 v03 GZ.indd 7

at Nes 71). De Engelenbak is a small theatre, in the very centre of Old Amsterdam, close to all other festival venues. In English, “De Engelenbak” means “The Gods” or “Paradise”. It’s a theatrical term referring to the highest and cheapest seats in a theatre.

All panels take place between Thursday 14 November and Wednesday 21 November and are accessible to all IDFA accreditations. For the full program, please see the Industry Guide or go to www.idfa.nl.

Hi-TEA with Ally and Peter

A calm oasis in the middle of the IDFA hurricane / hurry cane, the Hi-Teas are engaging daily chats hosted by IDFA director Ally Derks and the ubiquitous IDFAcolyte Peter Wintonick. With a pair of special filmmakers, docstars and secret guests, each session flows out of the IDFA program with personal issues, ideas and an incredible lightness of liquid being. In other words, tea talk is on tap. As for buttered scones, we live in times of auspicious austerity. The guest list? Without letting the cat out of the bag, to use a Dutch expression: Hoge bomen vangen veel wind / High trees catch a lot of wind (i.e. important people attract a lot of attention). Let’s just say: expect to be taken from the villages of India to some of the richest houses in the Western World.

Featuring more than 450 titles this year, the market takes place in Amsterdam’s art society Arti et Amicitiae. Docs for Sale offers digitized viewing services with 60 viewing sets, backed by an extensive database and catalogue. The documentaries viewed are recorded in the database, which can then be consulted by producers. Visitors to Docs for Sale are mainly buyers from international TV networks, festival programmers, and distributors looking for new documen-

tary material. Through the Docs for sale online platform, buyers and exhibitors can view documentaries whenever they want and wherever they are. This way, buyers and festival programmers who can’t make it to Amsterdam still have the opportunity to catch up with the Docs for Sale selection. The Docs for Sale online catalogue contains titles selected for IDFA 2012, as well as older documentaries that don’t deserve to be left on the shelf. The catalogue is continuously updated throughout the year.

iDfa funD

For 15 years, the IDFA Fund, formerly known as Jan Vrijman Fund, has supported filmmakers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, allowing them to create and screen their films, so that their stories can be heard in their home countries as well as abroad. The Fund offers a financial contribution to filmmakers with powerful and urgent stories, which they can use for research, script development, filming, editing or putting the finishing touches on their documentary. IDFA 2012 is presenting 14 new IDFA Fund documentaries. This year’s harvest showcases the diversity of filmmakers, regions, styles and subjects that the Fund supports. The films can be found in various competition programs as well as in Reflecting Images: Masters, Best of Fests and Panorama.

One of the professional hosting this plenary session will be Elisabeth Holm from Kickstarter, who will discuss the do’s and dont’s of using crowdfunding platforms to attract financial resources. Holm will be complemented by director Steve James and Margarete Jangard, who have used both alternative and traditional financing methods, and will analyze their experiences with these. The afternoon will be split up into two smaller sessions, one a discourse on current Cross-Media Production(e.g. web docs), the other a Pitch and Trailer Training.

The One Minutes Throughout the festival, IDFA will be screening videos from The One Minutes as the pre-film short in various cinemas. Especially for its 25th anniversary, IDFA and the One Minutes Foundation invited filmmakers around the world to submit a short film exactly one minute in length, taking “25” as their theme. Screening of the collection is made possible by a collaboration with BMW Nederland and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.

Doc Next Mini Cinema Doc Next brings fresh short documentaries by young European D-I-Y media makers to the big screen. Their portrayals of everyday heroes reveal small, sympathetic, local actions that have a big impact. About the love for storytelling, dancing, coffee, birds, personal belongings, memories and gardens. What are the images of Europe that they reveal? Doc Next mixes thoughtful documentaries with critical and political remix videos. Daily, 12:00 - 20:00 | Doc Next Mini Cinema on Rembrandtplein | 30-minute continuous screening | admission free

Extended Q&A

Focus Forward Mini Cinema

Wrong Time Wrong Place After the shocking terror-attack on Utoya one main question emerged in the media: is Anders Breivik a psychopathic lone wolf, or was the extreme polarization of Norwegian society to blame? Wrong Time Wrong Place keeps away from the political discourse. Instead, director John Appel focused on the victims and the parents who have had to cope with their losses. Survivors who owe their lives to those simple, ordinary decisions they made in the moments before Breivik started to shoot. Jeroen Wollaars who reported on the trial against Breivik for NOS (the Dutch National Broadcast station), will talk in the extended Q&A with John Appel about this choice. And about how he pictured the victims and how the film aids the processing of this tragedy. 12:45 | Tuschinski 2

Valentino’s Ghost Narrated by Hollywood star Mike Farrell, and featuring Robert Fisk, Niall Ferguson and Tony Shalhoub, Valentino’s Ghost illustrates the way in which the changing image of Arabs and Muslims in the media, mirrors America’s foreign policy agenda in the Middle East. Director Michael Singh is joined by leading Dutch expert Petra Stienen. Moderated by Özge Calafato of the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, herself a co-founder of the UAE National Film Library and Archive. 15:15 | Tuschinski 2

In collaboration with General Electric and Cinelan, IDFA is presenting a collection of films from Cinelan’s Focus Forward program, a series of 24 three-minute stories about innovative people who are reshaping the world through act or invention, directed by the world’s most celebrated documentary filmmakers.

Poor Consuelo Conquers the World Effective solutions to the world’s greatest problems are coming from a most unexpected source: Tele-novelas and soap-operas. These massively popular TV and radio shows are improving the lives of millions of the world’s poorest people. They provide positive role models and concrete strategies for dealing with issues like HIV, family planning, domestic abuse, and the environment. The Q&A discusses the do’s and don’ts of this promising form of educational entertainment. With Peter Friedman, Miguel Sabido (founder of the genre), Martine Bouman (center for Media and Health) and Kennard Bos, former scriptwriter of Holland’s longest running soap-opera. 13:45 | Tuschinski 1

Propaganda This is a North Korean film about Western propaganda. Or is it a Western film about North Korean propaganda? What we know is that it arrived mysteriously and it has a cameo by Noam Chomsky. Is it subversive genre-bending storytelling? Well, it does contribute to compulsive dissent - challenging, unsettling, stirring, questioning, breaking the status quo. Directors SM + MK and a special invitee make the long trip to Holland. They are joined on stage by moderator Peter Wintonick and those with special understandings of the rogue State and the Media. 16:30 | Tuschinski 1
