Practical information and FAQs

Your FAQs: How to navigate the festival smoothly and happily:

  • I've arrived in Jihlava, what do I do now? Upon arrival in Jihlava, visit the Accreditation Centre (Theatre Café, Horácký divadlo Jihlava, Komenského 22). Here you can collect your festival pass, programme brochure, accommodation voucher and have the opportunity to buy festival merch.

    • FRI 25 OCT – SAT 2 NOV / 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
    • SUN 3 NOV / 9:00 – 3:00 PM
  • Have you bought a festival pass but can't make it to the festival? Although we do not refund money for purchased accreditations, you can transfer your accreditation to anyone else. In this case, please contact us at akreditace@ji-hlava.cz.

  • What does a screening marked Ji.hlava Accessible mean? Information about screenings for parents accompanied by children or for people with disabilities can be found here.
  • Is it possible to buy a ticket for only one screening? Yes. A separate ticket for a specific screening will be available for 190 CZK at the Infopoint on Masaryk Square. Tickets can only be purchased for a given day. A separate ticket also serves as a reservation for the selected screening, but please make sure to arrive in plenty of time so that we can ensure a smooth check-in of all spectators. These tickets are not valid for Catch-Up screening.

  • Can I attend a screening without a reservation? Yes. If you have a festival pass, you can stand in the queue before the screening without a reservation and wait to see if there is an available seat in the hall. We will open the doors for attendees without reservations just before the screening starts. Alternatively, you can use one of the "Catch-Up screening" accessible with a purchased ticket from the "Catch-Up screening" package or with your accreditation. Tickets can be purchased at the Infopoint on the square.

  • How to get to the offscreen events? The festival pass allows you to enter the offscreen program for free or at a discount. Tickets for the offscreen programme - theatre performances and concerts in the festival tent – can be purchased directly from the venues before the start of the performance. Tickets for VR screenings and selected installations can be purchased at the Infopoint on Masaryk Square. More info and prices here.

  • Can I have popcorn at the screening? No, there is a blanket ban on food consumption in the cinema halls at the festival.

  • Need to be online? Connect to the festival wi-fi:

  • What about the kids? Is there a place for them to play? Yes! The youngest visitors to Ji.hlava IYFF have their own festival with a range of educational, entertaining and creative activities that children can visit alone or accompanied by their parents. The latest updates on the Ji.hlava program for children can be found here.

  • Are you under 19 years old, but the Ji.hlava for Kids program is no longer for you? Come to the Ji.hlava Vibes!

  • No map and your smartphone is dead? Don’t worry, a white line on the ground will lead you to all important festival locations.

  • Can I use public transport in Jihlava? All accredited visitors can use Jihlava public transport free of charge for the duration of the festival. You must physically have your accreditation with you to be eligible for free travel.
  • Where does the festival shuttle bus go? The festival shuttle bus will take you free of charge to selected locations outside Jihlava (including the Třešt' Boarding School). Check the timetable for details.

  • Interested in festival sustainability? We are gradually implementing social, ecological and economic sustainability measures in the organisation of the festival and all year-round activities. Do you have an idea how to do it better? Read how we think about making Ji.hlava sustainable.
