Introduction
This year’s focus of our open programme revolves around film crews and documentary film develop-ment. The mutual creative dialogue and the ability of being open to chance are intrinsic to the making of documentary films. However, since there are cer-tain specifics pertaining to the process that tend to be overlooked, this year’s Case Studies will provide a rare look into the process of documentary crea-tion.
And because the character of those involved always affects the outcome, we decided to find out more about those who promote, sell and select documen-tary titles. This is also why we have chosen the for-mat of a documentary talk show – to be able to read between the lines of bios and look beyond the walls of institutions.
Each day, we will discuss one noteworthy topic: the contemporary Czech documentary scene and its prospects, the character of Eastern European film-making and the form of documentary cinema in 20 years. At the same time, we will present the latest Czech documentary production showcased as part of the Czech Joy section, Conference Fascinations ded-icated to experimental film, the unique Inspiration Forum programme and a tailor-made programme produced by the Institute of Documentary Film.
Thank you for dedicating your attention to docu-mentary cinema!

Case Study LukášKokeš:
CanOneStillBeOriginal?
case StudyIn the quantities of the audio-visual materials that surround us, films are permeating and reflecting on one another. It is essential to learn the context of contemporary cinema in which our film works are set and to consciously work with this context. Is originality possible anymore? This is the question me, Klára Tasovská, the co-author of most of the films I have collaborated on, and producer Tomáš Hrubý always ask ourselves ever since the early stag-es of developing our film script. In fact, when you are watching films you are actually already working on your own ideas and scripts.
lukáš Kokeš (1983)A graduate of documentary filmmaking at FAMU in Prague. Along with screenwriter Štěpán Hulík and producers Tomáš Hrubý and Pavla Janoušková Kubečková he worked on the development and making of Wasteland produced by HBO Europe. He teamed up with Klára Tasovská to create Fortress. The duo is currently working on feature film Nothing Like Before co-produced by HBO Europe.11:30AM—1:30PM

2036:DocumentaryOdyssey
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the foun-dation of the Jihlava IDFF we asked distinguished guests of the previous festival editions to answer the following question: Will a documentary film exist in 20 years, and if so, what form will it have? We will try to find the answer also with our panellists, who would hardly have met at one table 20 years ago. The world of documentary cinema, art galleries, online media and the gaming industry has become remark-ably interlinked.

Case Study PeterKerekes,
MarekŠulík,MartinKollár:
T�ingsaredifferentt�anexpected
Unlike fiction films, documentary films cannot be prepared in advance. The development of documen-tary films has its specifics and the collaboration be-tween the members of often small teams has a cru-cial impact on the outcome. A Case Study on the communication between the director, the DOP and the editor during the making of 66 Seasons, Cooking History and Velvet Terrorists will take place under the subheading “Things are different than expected”.
Peter Kerekes is a Slovak documentary film direc-tor and producer who came into the spotlight with his film Cooking History (2009). Cooking History won a number of awards at renowned international fes-tivals. His latest film Velvet Terrorists tells the story of three men who made an attempt at crushing the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, with varying success.
Slovak filmmaker Martin Kollár graduated from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and focus-es primarily on photography and cinematography. He has worked on, among others, the documenta-ries 66 Seasons, Velvet Terrorists, and the festival suc-cess Goat. He has exhibited his work in Paris, China, Thessaloniki, and other cities.

American experimental filmmaker and documentar-ian Bill Morrison uses a variety of damaged celluloid strips in his films; most often, however, those dam-aged by the ravages of time. Using excerpts from his own films, he describes how archival material can be transformed into very different films, whether image–based, documentary, or narrative. He also shows how the meaning of the original source ma-terial can be modified by placing the fragments into a new context.6:30PM—8:30PMDuklaCinema–Reform

ClaireAt�erton
Editing.AComposition
We can see reflected in the work of French editor Claire Atherton, who worked closely with Chantal Akerman, the belief that, in addition to image and sound, time is a narrative element and an essential aspect of film media. According to her, editing gives a film its shape – making it visible, embodying it – through an intuitive thought process. In this master-class, she shares her rich experiences with viewers, presents her own concept of editing, and answers the basic questions: What role does editing play in the creation of films? How does editing unite the material and the director’s vision?2PM—4:30PMDuklaCinema–Edison

At the Jihlava IDFF, he will screen his own film The Summer School (2014). According to Quadri, film editing “is some-thing liquid and physical. It looks like a river that cuts through unknown lands. The spectator is like a swimmer or a sailor. Each element is linked to the other by contrast or similarity as if the film were a journey.” 6:30PM—10PMDuklaCinema–Reform

Publicpresentation
Festival HUB 2016 is a publicly accessible part of the Festival Identity section held within the framework of the Industry programme at the Jihlava IDFF. Fes-tival visitors will have a unique opportunity to see a showcase of world film festivals in the PechaKucha style.
Pec�aKuc�a
Festivals will make their presentations according to the following rules: presentations must consist of 20 slides each of which will be shown for no more than 20 seconds, including a commentary. The PechaKucha format (or “chit chat” in English) thus allows less than 7 minutes for the presenters, which makes their talks concise and fast–paced, providing only the most essential information.

His most popular plays, e.g. Nature Reserve or The Cultural Stratum, were translated into the German, English and other European languages. He took part in the Czech-Russian documentary theatre project, Prague Spring 1968.

Wednesday October 26
The Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival (IDFF) organises a conference meeting of experi-mental documentary film distributors, gallerists and festival representatives. Following up on Conference Fascinations 2015 that brought together representa-tives of experimental film distribution companies from all over the world, giving them the opportu-nity to meet, confer and learn more about the Czech experimental scene, focusing primarily on the cura-torship and institutional–commercial aspect of pre-senting and disseminating this type of works, this year’s discussion will revolve around experimental film curatorship in relation to specialised festivals and the presentation of moving images in gallery spaces. The conference takes place as part of the 20th edi-tion of the Jihlava IDFF and the main items on the agenda will include experimental film distribution,
presentation and preservation as well as various strategies of bringing experimental works to cura-tors and general public. Gallery presentations of experimental films and vid-eo–art make up to one half of the profit for some distributors. However, their previous debates have implied that there are no generally applicable rules to providing, appraising and displaying these works in gallery spaces. While the communication with fes-tivals takes place along similar lines, galleries are inclined to prefer “ad hoc” rules. Representatives of distribution companies, festivals and galleries will have the opportunity to watch se-lected works from Czech experimental cinema (Ex-prmntl.cz competition section) as well as a special historical cross–section of Eastern European cine-ma. The Jihlava IDFF has become the first platform enabling a systematic presentation of Czech experi-mental films (notably works referring to reality and including documentary features), at the same time systematically focusing on Eastern European cine-ma; the festival’s ambition is to promote Czech films internationally and to facilitate collaboration with experienced distributors and festivals abroad.

VisegradAcceleratorPanel
Experimental films and videos are dedicated their own space at festivals; in some countries they are presented by specialised distribution companies as well as galleries. However, film festivals (where works are shown as single film screenings) and gal-lery spaces (where they are usually presented in loops and using various technologies) have different approaches, selection criteria and politics when it comes to experimental titles. At the same time, these presentation methods cannot be separated – on the contrary – many authors produce works to be fit for cinema screenings as well as gallery display (or in versions suitable for these presentation methods). What is the situation in Visegrad countries? Where can be experimental films and videos seen in these countries, what are the typical ways of their presen-tation and where and how are they made available to viewers, journalists and film theorists?VISEGRAD ACCELERATOR is a programme aimed at intercon-necting film professionals from the Visegrad region (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia).
