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: Poland versus History
In 2001, Polish historian Jan Tomasz Gross, who is of Jewish descent, published a book entitled Neighbors, which completely shattered the myth that had been built up over many years that the notorious pogrom in the village of Jedwabne in 1941 had been committed by Germans. The testimony of the sole survivor of this tragedy reveals the responsibility of loyal Poles during World War II, the flourishing trade in valuables in Treblinka, but also the passionate conceit of the majority of the Polish nation. Research into the past sheds new light on the pogroms in Radzilów and post-war Kielce in 1946 and shows that anti-Semitism is more deeply rooted than the conservative Polish elite are willing to admit.
The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
