Ji.hlava On Air! Get a free film to your accreditation

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: A Family

For Christine Angot, since the beginning of her writing career, her books have been a space where she has been able to express what no one wanted to see or hear. Like incest. She was abused by her father since the age of 13. In her directorial debut, she goes back to the places where it happened and confronts those who were silent at the time. First her father's wife. Then her mother or her ex-partner. Long, uncomfortable but also cathartic dialogues are interspersed with excerpts from family films and photographs from the author's traumatic adolescence. From these fragments of the past, she composes a portrait of the man who stole her childhood. She is now using the written and spoken word to take it back.

The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
