Ji.hlava Documentary Film Festival Presents 129 World Premieres, 23 International Premieres and 11 European Premieres
The Ji.hlava Documentary Film Festival will offer 340 films, of which 129 are world premieres, 23 international premieres and 11 European premieres.
He will also introduce his latest films “The Damned,” depicting the U.S. Civil War in 1862 (winner of the directing award in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes this year), and his earlier documentary “Stop the Pounding Heart” (2014), about a strongly religious Texas family of goat farmers. Tomasz Wolski’s “A Year in the Life of a Country” uses lesser-known archival footage to go back to December 1981, when the Polish government declared a state of emergency in response to the growing influence of the Solidarity trade union movement. Australian filmmaker Audrey Lam’s “Us and the Night” offers a strong experimental flavor in a playful, poetic documentary set in the world of libraries, an imaginary universe made up of aisles, book spines, letters, words and stories.
