Istituto Luce - Cinecittà, organizes the Italian selections for the next IDFA - Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (18th/29th November 2020) for the Italian selections.
For obvious reasons due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will not host a IDFA delegate in Rome this year, but we will always be in contact with the Programming Team in order to coordinate the submissions of Italian films.
These are the main guidelines of the selections:
* IDFA Competition for Feature-Length Documentary, for documentaries lasting over 70' minutes. Only World, International and European premieres are eligible, with priority for World Premieres. National release, theatrical or TV broadcasting are allowed. Documentaries who have had an Internet or homevideo release are NOT eligible.
