Ep. 279: IDFA 2024 with Artistic Director Orwa Nyrabia, feat. The Guest, Higher Than Acidic Clouds, A Frown Gone Mad, Chronicles of the Absurd
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This year at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam, where I have seen so much outstanding work, I was fortunate to sit down with its artistic director, Orwa Nyrabia. The 2024 IDFA edition is the seventh edition under his leadership, and at the end of his term next summer he will be stepping down, so I asked about some of this year’s programming and he shared some valedictory thoughts. Films discussed (based upon what I had seen at this point, earlier in the festival) included: The Guest (Zvika Gregory Portnoy and Zuzanna Solakiewicz), Higher Than Acidic Clouds (Ali Asgari), A Frown Gone Mad (Omar Mismar), Chronicles of the Absurd (Miguel Coyula, featuring Lynn Cruz), and The Propagandist (Luuk Bouwman).
