    INSPIRATION FORUM DISCUSSIONS ARE ONLINE 

    For the twelfth year already, Ji.hlava's Inspiration Forum platform offered an opportunity to discover new perspectives, strengthen the dialogue and introduce new issues about our day-and-age. This year’s edition focused on the events in Ukraine, the society moving online, the limits of economic growth and its alternatives, and the freedoms that are often still only on paper. You can enjoy the selection of the best recordings of this year's forum online here.

    Ji.hlava IDFF stands with Ukraine. Please consider making a donation to DocuDays, which created a support fund for Ukrainian filmmakers.
