About IDFA Forum
IDFA Forum is a longstanding international gathering point for filmmakers, creators, producers, and industry representatives working on ground-breaking creative feature documentaries and new media projects. IDFA Forum takes place from November 15–18, 2026.
The first of its kind, the Forum showcases a dynamic and diverse slate of documentary projects from around the world—each distinguished by its unique voice, stylistic innovation, and exceptional quality. Over the course of four days, we offer public presentations, one-on-one meetings, and industry networking. As a prominent market to find partners and expand your international network, industry representatives, financiers, producers, and other documentary stakeholders will discover a wide variety of outstanding documentary projects and interactive new media projects from around the world.
The IDFA Forum supports documentary film and new media projects at various stages of development and production, across four distinct presentation categories.
