Program

The Young Producers program includes elements of IDFAcademy, IDFA Forum, and IDFA’s Industry Program. Topics such as financing, international co-production, distribution, and the latest market trends are covered, and the program also facilitates networking amongst selected participants and international colleagues. Additionally, program participants are welcomed as audience members at the Producers Connection, where documentary projects seeking early-stage international co-producers are presented.

Prior to IDFA, selected participants will be invited to a preparatory meeting. The program then takes place in Amsterdam and runs from Thursday, November 14 (at the start of IDFAcademy) to Wednesday, November 20, 2024 (for the last industry meetings and panels). Participants can also use their pass to attend film screenings during IDFA, which runs from November 14–24, 2024.

The Young Producers program is a collaboration between IDFA and the Netherlands Film Fund.
