Look forward to 24th Ji.hlava!
Five months are left for the 2020 edition of Ji.hlava IDFF to kick off. We very much hope that the situation at the end of October will be more favourable, yet we are working with several scenarios of future development. However, a cancellation of the upcoming edition is not an option for us. We don’t want to see 2020 go down in the history of filmmaking as a grey zone with numerous “abandoned films” – that will have been erased by the pandemic or that were not lucky enough to reach their audiences.
