Join our IDFA delegation

With this in mind, we are offering an exciting opportunity for up to four individuals to attend IDFA as part of a Ffilm Cymru Wales delegation, from 17th to 21st  November 2025.

You can find out more about IDFA on the official website.

What kind of support is offered?

• Selected delegates will receive full festival passes giving access to all festival screenings, talks and round tables and an invitation to a delegate dinner upon arrival.
• Hotel accommodation and subsistence will be provided for 4 nights and delegates will receive bursaries for travel costs and any access requirements (e.g. childcare/care for dependents, disability).
• Delegates will also benefit from a 1-2-1 session with an industry professional to discuss their career development and any specific projects they are working on. In advance of the festival we will also provide a festival orientation session online.

Am I eligible?

• Be available to attend IDFA on the relevant dates and able to travel to Amsterdam (travel will be covered);
