The International Documentary Festival Amsterdam has announced the 55 documentary projects selected for this year's IDFA Forum. The projects were chosen from 820 submissions.
Among the notable names coming to the forum, which runs from November 17 to 20, is Emmy winner Eva Mulvad (The Cave), who will pitch her upcoming project House of the Holy Father , co-directed by Andreas Koefoed. "In an intriguing cinematic exercise that bridges fiction and documentary," a press release reads, "the film attempts to expose the intricate workings of domination and manipulation, while ex-members of the notorious Christian sect Faderhuset direct scenes with well-known Danish actors including Trine Dyrholm and David Dencik."
Israeli filmmaker Tomer Heymann (Mr. Gaga: A True Story of Love and Dance, Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life), who has won awards at film festivals around the world, will participate in the Rough Cut Presentations section with Issa’s House, a film set in the West Bank. Another film shot in the same area – Francesca Tosarelli and Kamal Al Azraq’s The West Bank Project – will participate in the Pitch Forum.
