Five Australian documentaries have been selected to screen at the 27th International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), held 19–30 November.
Screen Australia’s CEO Graeme Mason said, “To have five Australian projects selected for one of the world’s leading documentary festivals is a great honour. It is an important platform for documentary filmmakers and great recognition that reflects the wealth of talent creating Australian documentaries.”
Thought-provoking feature documentary That Sugar Film, from first-time feature directorDamon Gameau and producers Nick Batzias and Rory Williamson, will have its world premiere in Competition for Feature-length Documentary and will screen alongside 15 other international titles. The film is an engaging and saccharine ride exploring what really happens when a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. That Sugar Film is a delightful combination of academia, irreverence, experiment, celebrity, science and vibrant entertainment. It will have a significant impact on the way the public views the most dominant food item in the world and help them to start a new life without it.
