Three DOK.Incubator films nominated at IDFA 2014

    The nominations for the best films in IDFA’s competition programs have just been announced.

    Three projects from DOK.Incubator workshop have been nominated in the main categories:

    “Something Better to Come”, a film by DOK.Incubator observer Hanna Polak /PL/, is nominated for the IDFA Competition for Feature-Length Documentary. The director had been following her main character Yula for 14 years since she was 11 until she turns 25 on her way out of the Europe´s biggest garbage dump.

    The jury of the IDFA Competition for First Appearance will also need to decide between two of DOK.Incubator 2014 participants: “Drifter” by Gabor Hörcher/HU/DE/ following 18-year-old rebel Risci on his coming out of age and complicated way towards his big dream: a rally trophy and Eva Tomanovas debut “Always Together” /CZ/ portraying an unusual Czech family living with nine children on sunlit meadows: which seem to be a paradise – but the father is a disciplinarian and leads his family with a heavy hand.

    The winners will be announced on Friday, November 28 in the evening, at the closing ceremony of the 27th IDFA in Amsterdam’s Compagnietheater.
