Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival’s Industry Programme and Its Benefits For a Producer
Šilarová, Hana ; ŠVECOVÁ, Marta (advisor) ; Tabakov, Diana (referee)
The present thesis explores the industry programme of the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival, as well as the ways producers benefit from it. This festival has a long-term tradition organizing programmes for film professionals. The individual components of the programme are conceived, respectively, for participants of various professions, for instance festival directors or film directors, with its main section, Emerging Producers, aimed at starting European producers.
The first part of the present work describes the history of Jihlava IDFF and the individual sections of its industry programme, while the second part compares the festival to two other ones of similar size, namely CPH:DOX and Visions du Réel Nyon, whose conceptions differ to a significant extent from Jihlava’s. The last section of the thesis, drawing in part on online questionnaires administered to Emerging Producers participants and to the producers of films competing at the festivals in question between the years 2012 and 2016, examines the contribution industry programmes bring to producers.
