What does Ji.hlava do?

The Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival has been supporting and promoting documentary cinema for twenty-six years. During this time, it has gained a reputation in the Czech Republic and abroad, started its publishing activities and sparked discussions about documentary films, founded a VOD platform (today known as DAFilms) and other distribution projects, including Ji.hlava’s online presentation. We also develop original industry activities to support emerging documentary films and their authors. In addition, we have created a parallel “festival of thinking” called the Inspiration Forum and a programme for the youngest audience – Ji.hlava for Kids. Aside from the film screenings and industry activities, there is an accompanying programme of theatre performances, concerts, installations, VR and a showcase of documentary PC games. The festival has also vowed to be as eco-friendly as possible, creating the position of an ecological ombudsperson and actively pursuing a sustainable approach. In the long term, we also strive to transform the wider filmmaking environment, moving towards greater openness and responsibility.

You are Ji.hlava!

All of our activities are aimed at creating an exceptional festival not only for film professionals, but also for you, festival visitors. You are Ji.hlava! We try to keep the festival passes affordable so that everyone can attend. At the same time, we know that many people like to actively support projects that they consider important for themselves or for the society. That's why we launched a project for our supporters called the Doc.Man. From this year onwards, however, we have decided to rename the popular Doc.Man and we are introducing the concept of patronage that has become popular on the Czech film scene in order to reach a wider group of people with this new programme.
