‘Experiment! Progress! Communication!’ is the spirit of independent documentaries SIDOF is seeking after.

Experiment!
Independent documentaries have been path finders of the new world with their desire to experiment new methods, rather than stick to the conventional ideas.  The spirit of experiment was not just bound to the film itself but the idea was passed out with the close relationship with the real world to influence the real people.  SIDOF is in step with the independent documentaries in experimenting new methods for a better world.

Progress!
Independent documentaries have come up with social agenda with a progressive point of view and have contributed to the society.  Recently they have dealt with areas that are not only public but also private sectors to analyze and solve the problems.  SIDOF plans to be the place where people can actually face the world they’ve never known through these films which aggressively express the aspects of our daily lives.

Communication!
Conversations between the people with the camera and the people who are being filmed have been one of the most effective ways to ponder about the meanings of our lives.  The conversations of the documentaries should be expanded.  SIDOF is preparing a forum for the directors and the viewers to discuss about the issues raised in the films.  Interactions and communications through the film is what all movies are ultimately aiming and this will definitely contribute to the cultural maturity of our society.
