In addition, three other filmmakers with projects will be present at IDFA to network and look for opportunities for co-production: Ana Korzh with DakhaBrakha: On the Road (Ukraine), Rea Moeti-Vogt with The Friendship Bench (South Africa), and Nada Riyadh with Land of Women (Egypt).
“We are honored to have been selected as an official delegation at IDFA this year," says Rachel Gandin Mark, AFS Program Director.

We have been supporting these filmmakers for many years and we’re committed to getting their impressive projects across the finish line.”
