The First Appearance Jury made, pictured here, made their introductions along with IDFA's other juries on the first night of the nightly "talk show" hosted by doc filmmaker Peter Wintonick ("The Street: A Film with the Homeless"). The nightly event is held in the festival's very smoky headquarters, and attracts a large number of festival audiences who join the informal chat and sipping (or guzzling) wine and beer. Pictured here is juror Doug Block (with microphone), whose "51 Birch Street" is playing at the festival. Also on the First Appearance Jury this year are filmmaker Astrid Bussink ("The Anglemakers"), Thessaloniki Documentary Festival founder and Reykjavik International Film Festival programmer, Dimitri Eipides, the European Documentary Network's Cecilia Lidin and Russian journalist, Andrei Plakhov.
