International
The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) administers the Bertha Fund, which supports documentary filmmakers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe at production and post-production stages. The fund provides grants of up to €40,000 per project and prioritises films with strong human rights and social justice themes. The IDFA Forum co-production market provides additional opportunities for grant recipients to secure international co-financing. IDFA is the world's largest documentary festival and being selected for Bertha Fund support significantly elevates a project's international profile.
