In case you haven't submitted your film yet, please, do not miss the upcoming deadline of the 21st Ji.hlava IDFF for films produced in 2017.

More information and the online submission form can be found here.
No submission fee required.
Jihlava IDFF introduces unique artworks in seven competition sections: Opus Bonum (documentaries from around the world), Between the Seas (focus on Central and Eastern Europe), First Lights (competition of documentary debuts), Fascinations (experimental documentaries), Czech Joy (Czech docs), Short Joy (short European documentaries), and Exprmntl.cz (Czech experimental documentaries). In addition, Jihlava IDFF presents notable films in numerous other sections focusing on contemporary cinema, retrospectives and much more.
Jihlava IDFF has been chosen by the European Film Academy (EFA) as one of the European documentary festivals to pre-select films for the European Award for the Best Documentary Film of the Year. Each of the festivals nominates one film directed by a European director and released in world premiere directly to EFA’s pre-selection. EFA considers all other world premieres of European films and may add them to the pre-selection.
Also, winners of the Short Joy award will be eligible for the pre-selection in the Documentary Short Subject category of the Academy Awards®.
With best regards,
Viktor Koren
