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: Under the Flags, the Sun
Captured, censored, and long-forgotten film footage from the period of Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship in Paraguay. This anthology of images presents a terrifying, ominously distorted picture of a nation after a media lobotomy. Thousands of Paraguayan citizens were arrested, persecuted, or exiled under the right-wing dictatorship between 1954 and 1989. 336 people are still missing. This bizarre South American dictatorship is revealed in propaganda films, exalted celebrations of the leader (the Sun), and footage of street protests and army interventions against demonstrators. To this day, the cult of personality—like censorship—has been replaced and maintained by party control technology and military junta rule. The power of images in the weakness of the spirit.
The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
