Sixty-six titles have been added to the program for the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) as the event unveils the Luminous and Frontlight sections, in addition to titles for live cinema section IDFA on Stage, experimental art section Paradocs and queer cinema section Contagious & Queer. IDFA’s 36th edition runs Nov. 8 to 19.
Luminous, which presents a wide range of styles and formalist approaches, from observational to personal to experimental, has 23 titles, of which 22 are world or international premieres.
Several films tell powerful feminist stories. Through vivid recollections and a wealth of archival footage, “Helke Sander: Cleaning House” by Claudia Richarz invites audiences to revisit the filmmaker and feminist’s work and activism. “Atirkül in the Land of Real Men” by Janyl Jusupjan tells the story of age-old Central Asian traditions and one Kyrgyz woman’s determined defiance, as she resists the roles laid out for her and follows the call of the wild.
