The Ji.hlava Film Festival has launched New Visions Forum and Market, a financing, co-production and networking event. The festival will feature 16 documentary projects by U.S. film makers to over 1000 professionals, who are expected to attend the festival both physically and online.
Its purpose is to link U.S. documentary filmmakers and potential distributors, sales representatives, and co-producers.
The project’s director-producer pairing will present their projects to a jury that includes Godfrey Reggio (Sara Dosa), Fern Silva, Brent Chesanek and Brent Chesanek. The event will take places on Oct. 28-29. A preview of the film will also be presented, along with all of the projects in various stages of production.
