Send us your films, performances, and interactive/immersive projects to be considered for the 37th edition of IDFA, taking place November 14 to 24, 2024. 

Festival entries for IDFA 2024 are open. All entries are reviewed thoroughly and carefully by our team of international selectors—with the new program team recently announced. These experts from around the world join in the discussion that leads up to IDFA’s final selection. The selection process is overseen by IDFA’s Artistic Director. 

Before you enter your film or project, please be sure to read the regulations thoroughly, as well as the FAQ for film entries or interactive/immersive project entries. Entering your work implies that you have read and accepted all entry regulations.
