Call for Festival Entries

Every year from March until July we invite artists to send in their XR and new media projects, live performances, and other interdisciplinary documentary artworks to be considered for IDFA. For the IDFA on Stage section, we welcome entries from worldwide creators of live performances that bridge the realms of film, digital media, new tech, and performing arts. For the IDFA DocLab competitions and exhibition programs, we welcome immersive and interactive projects that use new media and emerging technology to tell stories and reflect on reality. This includes a wide range of formats such as immersive narratives, spatial creations, web-based experiences, digital art, games, audio narratives, physical installations, and artworks that leverage AI and other advanced technologies.

For linear film entries, please refer to IDFA’s general entry page.

Artists looking for co-producers, creative input, and financing possibilities are invited to enter their projects (in all stages of development and financing) to the IDFA DocLab Forum this call is open until August 1.
