IDFA has just announced the first films selected for its 34th edition, held between 17 – 28 November on location in Amsterdam. These early selections come from the Top 10 program curated by Guest of Honor Hito Steyerl (more like 14, actually), and a four-title program with the films of Artavazd Pelechian, both of whom will be in attendance.
