Official spot of the 25th Ji.hlava IDFF

The official spot of the 25th Ji.hlava IDFF has been designed by the poet and filmmaker Khavn, who thanks to his desire to trespass the borders of film expression, belongs among the most prominent personalities of Philippine cinema. His work was presented in the section Translucent Being at Ji.hlava 2006. “Khavn is a prominent figure on the contemporary independent scene in the Philippines, and the Ji.hlava IDFF has been following his predominantly provocative and surprising work for fifteen years. Khavn himself has also been collaborating with Ji.hlava: he is currently leading the Ji.hlava Academy workshop for emerging filmmakers, and has been among of the jurors and authors of the festival diary," says Marek Hovorka, the director of the festival, commenting the choice. RAIN OF STONES it’s raining stones you won’t notice at first not small grains of beautiful blinding sand rocks the size of fists that break skulls the young have been left by the old take care of your own life and let it be brief kingdoms of dust marked by dog piss thou shalt not cross or you die stones don’t know the names of saints the hardest head is the hardest hit shards from bottles of sweet beer difficult to run with just one foot rusty blades sharpened to fit your hungry guts isn’t it ironic the stranger who helped you earlier just killed your friend 13.10.2021
