More than 100 films have been added to this year’s International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
The festival announced them on Tuesday 29 September.
The 39th edition of what is the world’s largest documentary festival takes place from 12 to 22 November, led by artistic director Isabel Arrate Fernández.
The new titles are spread across four parts of the programme: Signed, Paradocs, Best of Fests and the Short Documentary Competition.
IDFA also revealed the first projects for DocLab, its strand for new media work.
Signed is the section for filmmakers the festival describes as having “a unique artistic signature, beyond the canon”, and this year it is full of Oscar contenders.
Among them are Ava DuVernay’s 14th, Michał Marczak’s Closure, Sara Dosa’s Time and Water, Luke Lorentzen’s Boatbuilders and Julia Loktev’s My Undesirable Friends: Part II, subtitled Exile.
Also in Signed is Once Upon a Time in Harlem, directed by David Greaves and produced by Liani Greaves.
It is built from footage shot by David’s father, the filmmaker William Greaves.
The section also brings new films from Barbara Kopple (Union Town), Sam Pollard (Tutu) and Victor Kossakovsky (Holy Wood Dust).
