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: Eight Postcards from Utopia
The thirty years since the execution of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu have been a period of dynamic cultural, economic and political change for Romania. The transition from state socialism to consumer capitalism has affected society's attitudes towards food, nature, history, death and sex. In eight ironically titled chapters and one epilogue, we see how contemporary television advertisements attempt to sell the new lifestyle and neoliberal ideology. An uncommented strip of clips promoting beer, washing machines or shoe polish is at the same time a showcase of bizarre (male) fantasies and hitherto unfulfilled dreams of a world of unlimited possibilities.
The movie will be available after you log in with your account with a valid accreditation. You can buy an accreditation here.
