Congratulations to directors Basel Adaraa, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor and Hamdan Balal who received the IDFA Bertha Fund Europe Grant for their project NO OTHER LAND. IDFA Bertha Fund Europe aims at encouraging the development of co-productions between European and non-European producers.

The Fund is awarding an amount of 40,000 Euro to each selected project, in addition to offering year-round opportunities for connecting with IDFA’s professional network.

After receiving the Production and Post-production Grant as part of the 2021 IDFA Bertha Classic grant cycle, the extraordinary team of No Other Land secured additional funding for their project and we couldn’t be more proud of their hard work and dedication to complete this very urgent film.

In addition, we have one Close Up project that is participating at the upcoming IDFA Forum taking place between November 12-16th!


The upcoming forum marks the second edition of the Producers Connection, an exclusive producer-to-producer showcase of 12 selected projects ripe for international co-production. We are so happy for the team of LET’S PLAY SOLDIERS. Congratulations to Mariam Al-Dhubhani and Mohammed Al-Jaberi for having the opportunity to attend this prestigious forum and meet with potential future collaborators on your urgent and inspirational project!

Again, congratulations to our talented filmmakers!
