Throughout the year, the Fund is in contact with various organizations to exchange information and knowledge about documentary films, filmmakers, organizations, and contacts. These include Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program in the US, AfriDocs in South Africa, the Hot Docs-Blue Ice Documentary Fund in Canada, In-Docs in Indonesia, Docedge in India, Documentary Association of Europe, International Media Support in Denmark and Inmaat Foundation in the US. The IDFA Bertha Fund is also part of a network of co-production funds which includes the Hubert Bals Fund, World Cinema Fund, ACM Distribution, and Torino Filmlab. These funds consult each other on a regular basis and share experiences on the implementation of the co-production schemes in the Creative Europe program. The Fund also maintains a number of structural relationships with organizations in the IBF regions. Every year, the IBF participates in workshops and festivals all over the world to promote the Fund and IDFA, to extend its network and to provide concrete professional support to filmmakers from IBF-focus countries. These visits enable the Fund to add local organizations to its network. Due to covid restrictions half of the events were online and half of the events could be visited in-person. In 2022, IBF-consultants participated in online and in-person documentary film events in Chile, Colombia, Cuba, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and Uruguay.
