, which holds its 36th edition from Nov. 8 to 19 in Amsterdam. IDFA is also honoring filmmaker and artist Peter Greenaway with a Lifetime Achievement Award, a selective retrospective and an extensive on-stage talk.
IDFA is also screening Wang’s “Man in Black” and “Youth ,” two films that premiered earlier this year in Cannes, and which “demonstrate the filmmaker’s vision and capacity for innovation,” IDFA said.Wang will also give an indepth Master Talk. He will “take the audience on a journey through 10 contemporary films by Chinese filmmakers, offering them a guided tour into a rich understanding of social and political history, and the language of cinema.
“Every medium has to be redeveloped, otherwise we would still be looking at cave paintings. My desire to tell you stories is very strong but it’s difficult because I am looking for cinema that is non-narrative,” Greenaway said in 2007. “This makes him a dissident, in opposition to the dominant cinematic form,” IDFA said.
The first of these is an homage to 16mm film, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. “It’s a film format that unleashed a revolution in cinema the moment it was introduced,” IDFA said. “Not only did it make filmmaking considerably cheaper and more mobile thanks to more affordable, easier-to-use equipment, but for many makers these new physical freedoms led to an artistic liberation.”
