IDFA Forum
Producer’s Guide
Observers and
Their Projects
Welcome
Dear Guests,
In addition to IDFA and the Forum’s other publications,
this year we’re introducing the IDFA Forum Producer’s
Guide for the very first time. This is a booklet that lists all
the producers who are attending the Forum as observers,
their projects (either in development or production), and
the countries they would like to co-produce with. Our goal
in publishing it is to help producer-observers raise their
profile and that of their projects.
With this booklet, the daily Producers’ Breakfasts and
the Co-Production Summit, which is taking place on
November 26, we hope to contribute to better networking
opportunities for producers and directors in attendance.
Creating fruitful collaborations can only happen if these
individuals meet one another and get to know and
appreciate each other’s work.
Each November, Amsterdam is the center of the
documentary world, a meeting place where new films and
film plans are shared and other plans are born. We hope
that this booklet will help you find the right documentary
partners, both now and in the future!
Wishing you a wonderful IDFA and Forum!

The Ransom - Journey to the Center of the Hostage Market: Behind
each kidnapping is a ransom demand. Facing every ransom demand a
negotiator in action. With hostage taking on the rise, a shadow industry
is prospering. At the heart of a well-tested setup, strategists and men
of action unite in their focus. Assurance men and negotiators offer their
services to businesses, executives or the families of hostages. The film
provides a journey to the heart of a secret world where cynism butts up
against morality. Where to save a person’s life one must resolve oneself
to cold-hearted bargaining.

The Night of the Nights: Five married couples from Germany, India,
Japan, Turkey and the USA. All of them have been married for more
than 60 years. All of them got to know each other in a time when ‘the’
wedding night for many couples was their first sexual encounter. They
tell us the secret of staying together for a lifetime. They share their daily
life with us. Animated scenes will bring their youth back to us.
The Congo Tribunal: Triggered by the Rwandan genocide in 1994, based
on direct or indirect involvement of all great powers of our time, the
Congo war, also referred to as the Third Wold War, has claimed up to 6
million deaths. Many observers not only see in it a fight about political
predominance in Central Afrika, but also one of the most decisive
economical division-battles in the era of globalization. May the number
of involved Rebel Armies be inscrutable - even more intransparent
are the arms dealers operating in supply lines, the role of foreign
diplomates and humanitarian relief organizations but also the inextricability of multi-national mining companies. Does one of the biggest
and bloodiest economic wars of human history decide the future order
of the global community? The film The Congo Tribunal examines the
causes and backgrounds for this, now almost 20 years ongoing war in
the area of the great lakes on the basis of a tribunal, on-site in eastern
Congo.The result will be a human-shattering, profound analytic tableau
of the neo-colonial world system.

community living in the Military Zone in Maputo. They were given
land as a reward for fighting in both the independence and civil wars.
Ironically, they are currently facing possible eviction by the very same
government they fought for to make way for housing for the rich. Using
their own dance called “Mapiko”, which from pre-colonialism to the
present day has been used to narrate their struggles, we look at this

Blue ID: Explores notions of self-realization, gender and identity.
The film follows Rüzgar Erkoçlar, an Elite Model Look finalist and a
well-known actress since the age of 10, now a trans man living in
Istanbul. Erkoçlar maintained a consistent acting career until last year
when he was outed in the midst of his gender reassignment transition,
forcing him on a quest for a male identity under media scrutiny.
This Is Congo: An unfiltered look in to the lives of 3 characters surviving
amongst the most recent cycle of conflict in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, otherwise known as the M23 rebellion.
