Ji.hlava New Visions Market

Documentary projects of all types and formats produced by European filmmakers are selected for the Ji.hlava New Visions Market 2022.

Ji.hlava New Visions follows new trends in contemporary European film production, and the Market is therefore opened to all types of non-fiction audiovisual formats. The aim is to create an active hub connecting producers and other professionals to support the financing and development of projects, as well as their subsequent promotion and distribution.

The Market was an opportunity for film professionals accredited at the 26th Ji.hlava IDFF to meet the authors of the selected projects. It was also a chance for the Market participants to find co-producers for their projects.

All accredited film professionals can log in to the Market using their Eventival accounts. The Market will be accessible until November 13.

The meetings with the Market participants were possible both online and onsite depending on their availability.

This year the Market featured 50 new documentary projects (including 16 European and 10 U.S. projects selected for the Ji.hlava New Visions Forum 2022).
