IDFA Offers Video Reports
For those of us who were not able to visit the documentary film festival in Amsterdam, the good news is that the festival (link below) is bringing out videos from the festival. You can watch the opening and closing ceremonies but more important is that there are small interviews with directors whose films you might have seen on other occasions.
Three films that I like a lot are there: Maite Alberdi talks about her wonderful ”Tea Time” (photo), you can meet the winner of the festival with ”Of Men and War” Laurent Bécue-Renard and there is a more than one hour long registration of a masterclass with Heddy Honigmann, who had a retrospective at the festival, had chosen her 10 favourite documentaries to be screened AND showed her ”Around the World in 50 Concerts” as the opening work of the festival. I am looking forward to watch that masterclass – Honigmann is a master and (by the way) her ”Forever” was the first film reviewed here on the filmkommentaren, August 2007… Nostalgia.
