IDFA - for this time it is real...

the IDFA - International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. 10 days full of movies.

I think I saw more than 40 movies within 10 days
Anyway a marathon of sad movies or in the best case scenario with a hope message at the end, almost stating "hei this is not the end".
That's the shit about documentaries: eveything or most of it is the nude truth or a perception of reality. There is no happy ending... It is not like Rambo where you guess that Stallone will kill all those russians. So at the end you cannot grab your crying neighbour and whisper is a secure tune: "Relax this is only fiction..." No space to pretend that you are strong as a rock. In fact you can end almost crying also. Take advantage of the dark light and drop some tears. But basic step: clean them beofre the lights are turned on.

But 2 movies really brought true joy and a happy feeling to the room: "Rise Up" (I wanna go to Jamaica for vacation damnnnnn!) and "Persona non Grata"

Rotterdam in January is the next movie stop.
