International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) Doclab 2025

Where documentary meets technology, art and experimentation. IDFA DocLab brings together interactive and immersive works that explore new ways of experiencing and understanding the world. From virtual reality and experimental games to installations and live performances, the programme invites visitors to engage with stories that often reach beyond the traditional documentary format.

The exhibition brought together works exploring subjects ranging from the war in Ukraine and the lives of Palestinians to identity, sexuality and digital culture. Among them was Lesbian Simulator by Iris van der Meule, which premiered at IDFA, alongside immersive works that offered different perspectives on conflict, representation and everyday life.

Working with POPKRAFT, I was involved in the production and logistical coordination of the exhibition. My responsibilities included supporting the installation and day-to-day operation of the exhibition, coordinating practical arrangements and assisting artists and the international delegation throughout the festival.
