During the upcoming festival, IDFA is organizing a large number of Talks to accompany its film program, giving unique insights into the makers’ backgrounds and the stories behind the films. These Talks are divided into three categories. Five Filmmaker Talks will delve deep into a specific filmmaker's body of work (including the Master Talk with Jonathan Harris). Over fifty Doc Talks will present in-depth conversations with makers and a well-known moderator following film screenings.
For the festival's professional guests, a total of twenty Industry Talks and Industry Sessions will deal with the latest developments in the documentary industry. Check out our website for more information on the complete industry program during IDFA 2017 or to download or browse the Program Guide.
