We have launched a new project! Its aim is to support the distribution of documentary films and also to care for the Ji.hlava audience. Everyone who buys an accreditation will get exclusive online access to one film per month. All films will be subtitled in Czech.
Film of the month: Mare's Nest
Ben Rivers has made another film about the end of civilization as we know it. This time, it is loosely based on Don DeLillo's one-act play The Word for Snow. While DeLillo does not specify the age of the characters, Rivers' characters are children. All adults have been wiped out as a result of an unspecified catastrophe. Nine-year-old Moon travels through this dystopian landscape. Her mystical odyssey unfolds in impressionistic images captured in colour and black-and-white 16mm format. But Rivers doesn't just talk about survival, planetary crisis, and the limits of language. He also reflects on whether, as a society, we still have enough (childlike) imagination to imagine a new beginning and a better world.
The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
