Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival (Czech: Mezinárodní festival dokumentárních filmů Ji.hlava), also known as MFDF Ji.hlava or Ji.hlava IDFF, is a documentary film festival that takes place annually in Jihlava, Czech Republic, typically in late October. The 28th edition of the festival is scheduled to run from 25 October to 3 November 2024.[1][2]
The festival was established in 1997 by a group of high school students in Jihlava, led by Marek Hovorka, who has directed the festival since its inception. Since 2001, it has been organized by the Jihlava Association of Amateur Filmmakers, which rebranded as DOC.DREAM - the Association for the Support of Documentary Cinema in 2015.[3] Ji.hlava IDFF is a founding member of Doc Alliance, a coalition of seven European documentary film festivals.
During the 2022 festival, over 86,000 attendees viewed films, with more than 36,000 attending screenings in cinemas and nearly 50,000 viewing films online.[4] The festival featured 376 films in 2022, and over 1,000 film professionals participated in the Ji.hlava Industry Programme, which includes initiatives such as Emerging Producers, Festival Identity,[5] and Conference Fascinations.[6]
