Dear friends, 

We are happy to share with you 11 new European documentary projects in development, which will be presented at the Ji.hlava New Visions Forum on October 28–29.

The Forum will feature projects that include diverse genres and audiovisual formats – such as fiction films with documentary aspects, hybrid and experimental films, cinema expanded projects, virtual and augmented reality projects, and live documentaries. See their list here. 

The list of the recently announced eighteen U.S. documentary projects at the Ji.hlava New Visions Forum is available here. 

All presentations will be available both live and online to the Ji.hlava industry accreditation holders. You can now also download the industry catalogue of the 25th Ji.hlava IDFF. 

BRNO/CZ – Starting tomorrow, Brno will become the epicentre of environmental documentaries for four days. A delegation of filmmakers will be present at the screening of ten competing films at the 47th EKOFILM International Film Festival with an environmental theme. Filip Remunda, Joep van Dijk from the Netherlands and Jakub Šipoš from Slovakia are among personalities visiting the festival. The meeting with the filmmakers will be accompanied by a screening of two of the four non-competing films.

The festival’s main competition programme adds one new world premiere, ten international premieres and three European premieres to the six world premieres previously announced. Nineteen films will be screened in competition, with three films out of competition. It’s a packed lineup featuring a couple of legends, a raft of returning Black Nights favourites and several soon-to-be-stars, from all corners of the cinematic globe. Two international premieres will come to PÖFF after having their world premieres with our friends at Seville European Film Festival.
