Doc Next @ IDFA 2012 1

A new generation of DIY documentary makers zooms in on Europe Doc Next @ IDFA brings fresh short documentaries by

young European DIY media-makers to the big screen.

Their portrayals of everyday heroes reveal small,

sympathetic, local actions that have a big impact.

About the love for storytelling, dancing, coffee, birds, personal belongings, memories and gardens... What are the images of Europe that they reveal? Doc Next @ IDFA mixes patient-eye documentaries with critical and political remix videos. Doc Next shorts will be screened before featured IDFA documentaries, and will be shown every day in the Mini Cinema (Rembrandtplein). For the full programme, visit www.docnextnetwork.org.

What is Doc Next Network?

Doc Next Network is a unique movement of media-makers, educators, programmers, researchers and innovators, capturing the views of young European media-makers to redefine documentary within the shifting borders of Europe. The network collects work by young European media-makers from the DIY generation in a media archive, which is publically accessible on Vimeo. Finding new talent and showcasing them at major festivals, on the radio and on TV is one of our goals. Doc Next @ IDFA is an initiative of IDFA and the European Cultural Foundation (ECF), based on a mutual desire to make sure the voices of young DIY media talent are included in public opinion.

All films in this catalogue are part of the Doc Next Network Media Collection. Our collection hosts hundreds of European short docs, which

can be used freely for film screenings, exhibitions and conferences.

Strong Stories

doctor loco, Anna Snowball and Matthew Kay, UK, 2012

EnclosurE (KApAnım), Akile Nazli Kaya, Czech Republic, 2011

“The depiction of a nightmare caused by religious fanaticism”, as the media-maker puts it. In the absence of words, the video poses some very important and troubling questions. What is religion? What is fanaticism? Who decides what is?

Production: Akile Nazli Kaya.



11Doc Next @ IDFA 2012

A public space is a social space that is generally open and accessible to people. But who decides how these places are used and improved? These films are about fighting bureaucracy, striving

tHE lıfE of AllotmEnts (dzıAłKowcy), Anastazja Kądziela, Poland, 2011

our culture strongly influence it.
