-
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.

-
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.
