Orwa Nyrabia on IDFA and Film Festivals in Lockdown (2020)

Duration: 01:17:22    

Orwa Nyrabia | Coffee Morning | 2020

Orwa Nyrabia is an independent Syrian documentary filmmaker and current artistic director of International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA)

In conversation with Noe Mendelle, this event explored how, only a year on in the job, Orwa and his team will navigate the dark waters of COVID 19 next November.

Is this the perfect time to reflect on the importance of festivals in promoting films that allow us to imagine and shape our future narratives?
