From the 15th to the 26th of November, the biggest documentary festival in the world takes place in Amsterdam. And we have already made a small selection of the most interesting performances.

During the&nbsp;International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam&mdash;for short,&nbsp;IDFA&mdash;hundreds of documentaries are available at various locations in the city.&nbsp;The program for the thirtieth iteration varies from a documentary about Eric Clapton, Steven Spielberg and fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, to a portrait of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.&nbsp;We picked out a&nbsp;small selection&nbsp;of interesting movies to make it easier for you:

&nbsp;

The Gospel According to Andre&nbsp;(United States - 2017 - Kate Novack)&nbsp; 
From the segregated American South to the fashion capitals of the world, operatic fashion editor Andr&eacute; Leon Talley&#39;s life and career are on full display, in a poignant portrait that includes appearances by Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Bethann Hardison, Valentino, and Manolo Blahnik.

The Final Year&nbsp;(United States - 2017 - Greg Barker)&nbsp; 
The Final Year is a unique insiders&#39; account of President Barack Obama&#39;s foreign policy team during their last year in office.

Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars&nbsp;(England - 2017 - Lili Fini Zanuck)&nbsp; 
Life in 12 Bars presents the life of guitar virtuoso Eric Clapton summarized in just over two hours, featuring&nbsp;the&nbsp;ups and downs of both&nbsp;his private and public life.

Antonio Lopez 1970: Sex, Fashion &amp; Disco&nbsp;(United States - 2017 - James Crump)&nbsp; 
Fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez (1943-1987) is seen as one of the most influential in his field during the seventies. This&nbsp;movie&nbsp;reports on&nbsp;his colorful life in Paris and New York.

The Work (United States - 2017 - Jarius McLeary)&nbsp; 
This film features a four-day therapy session in an unusual setting: New Folsom Prison in California. The participants are both convicted murderers and gang members.

The Act of Killing&nbsp;(Denmark / Norway - 2012 - Joshua Oppenheimer)&nbsp; 
By asking two former paramilitary members involved in the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66&nbsp;to make a film in the style of their favorite Hollywood genres through which they play out their own past actions, Joshua Oppenheimer makes the violence gloriously and shockingly visible.

Golden Dawn Girls&nbsp;(Norway, Denmark, Finland - 2017 - H&aring;vard Bustnes)&nbsp; 
While their extremely right-wing fathers, wives and sons are in prison, the Greek Golden Dawn women are at the forefront of continuing Nazi thought.&nbsp;A staggering picture of how blinders&nbsp;in politics can derail society.

Ask the Sexpert&nbsp;(United States - 2017 - Vaishali Sinha)&nbsp; 
India is the land of Kamasutra, but a large part of the population appears to be strikingly&nbsp;unknowledgeable&nbsp;about sex.&nbsp;With his humorous and non-moralistic newspaper &#39;Ask the Sexpert&#39;, an advancing 93-year-old tries to change that.
