´On the way to school´ Where did these boys come from?

Perhaps the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam (IDFA)will not ring a bell for your average film buff but those in the global film industry know that it is by far the mother of all creative documentary film festivals.

Furthermore, this year´s festival should have a special meaning for Turkey since for the first time in the event´s history, a Turkish film is competing in the Joris Ivens competition for feature length documentaries.

It´s IDFA, LIR.

 oops!  thanks - I put IDFFA originally and removed the wrong letter!

Another interesting event for those loving movies: IFFR (International Film Festival Rotterdam) which takes place every year, this year from 21st of January - 1st of February. The programme will be announced at January 15th, so bookmark www.iffr.nl ! Every year there are long and short movies from all over the world, it´s a great event. If you are able to go, do it!

I watched a very good Dutch movie named Karakter several years ago.
