It is only fitting that this year’s International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam kicks off on a Friday the 13th. The date, long associated with ideas of disruption, feels an apt omen for the current moment in documentary filmmaking. This year’s fall festival season was largely dominated by conversations on docs like Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s “You Can See Everything,” Alex Gibney’s “Musk,” and Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s “NAZA,” the first two now landing in Amsterdam to invite audiences and industry members to discuss what they may represent for the future of documentary filmmaking.
