Founded in 1998, Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF) is organised by the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute in Taipei. The festival includes competitive programmes that accept submissions from around the world and invites professionals from home and abroad to serve as jurors. TIDF’s non-competitive programmes are curated by the festival's team and have included important themes such as a retrospective of Ogawa Shinsuke's works, Taiwanese avant-garde cinema from the 1960s, and documentaries about and made by Taiwan's indigenous peoples. Each edition of TIDF screens approximately 130 films from around the world, along with various events like master classes, panel discussions, live performances, and exhibitions. The upcoming TIDF is scheduled from May 10 to 19, 2024 . The competition programme is looking for documentaries that are the most creative, closely connected to social and human interests, and have unique viewpoints! Any films completed after December 1, 2021 are eligible for our four main competitions. There is no restriction on genre and length. No entry fee. A Taiwan Premiere is required except for Taiwanese productions. The final shortlist will be announced on the TIDF website in mid-February 2024.
