9. IDF INDUSTRY PROGRAMME


Institute of Documentary Film in Jihlava, October 24 - 30, 2011

The Institute of Documentary Film is opening its 11th Industry Programme for film professionals. Next to the presentations of documentary projects at the 11th East European Forum, soon-to-be-released documentaries at the Doc Launch presentation, and more than 250 East European films at the 8th East Silver Market, we are hosting a slate of master classes, case studies, lectures, screenings, as well as one-on-one meetings with international commissioning editors, buyers, distributors, sales agents, festival and film fund representatives.



AWARDS
IDF Industry Programme features annual Silver Eye Awards, handed out to the best short, mid-length and feature documentaries, along with the two awards for docs-in-progress – Golden Funnel Award and IDF Forum Award. The best Czech documentary project will be awarded with HBO Award at the opening ceremony of the IDFF Jihlava. HBO grants up to 1 200 000 CZK support for a documentary film production costs. The HBO call is a mutual project with the Institute of Documentary Film/East Silver.

MASTER CLASSES

The Industry Programme is also open to all festival visitors, with a chance to meet notable international filmmakers. Coming to Jihlava to share their thoughts on filmmaking are Erik Gandini, Marcin Koszałka, Audrius Stonys, and Vitaly Manskiy (October 26, 28 and 29, 2011).


100 FILMS COMPLETED WITH DIRECT SUPPORT FROM IDF

Over the eleven years of IDF's existence, more than 100 documentary films have been completed with the aid of the East European Forum, Ex Oriente Film, and Doc Launch. Many of the films have been awarded at major international festivals, such as the Cannes IFF, Locarno IFF, Hot Docs, IDFA, Visions du réel, and Berlinale. The East Silver Market has facilitated festival or broadcasting support for over 500 completed films.



GUESTS
The 11th Industry Programme is the the region's largest meeting place for East European documentary filmmakers and Europe's and North America's leading commissioning editors, distributors, buyers, sales agents, festival programmers, and film fund representatives. Directors and independent producers offer their projects for co-production, presale or other forms of financial support, while producers with post-production projects or completed films seek distribution partners.

Since 2001, the Industry Programme has become a prestigious meeting place that has hosted 1200 East European filmmakers and producers, and 720 European and North American commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, festival programmers and film fund representatives.

RECORD NUMBER OF GUESTS

A record number of industry guests have confirmed their attendance at this year's Industry Programme. More than 70 commissioning editors and buyers from major TV networks in Europe and North America, over 20 sales agents, and many more distributors, film fund and festival representatives are coming to the East European Forum and the East Silver Market to find new films for their programme slots or portfolios. More than 100 East European directors and producers are looking to find support for their documentary projects and completed films. With all other visitors of the Industry Programme, the Institute of Documentary Film will host around 400 film professionals.

Organized as part of the Industry Programme for the eleventh time, the East European Forum is the region's largest meeting of East European documentary filmmakers and European commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, and film fund representatives. Filmmakers and independent producers attend the event to offer their projects for co-production, presale and other forms of financial support. Over the years, the East European Forum has become a prestigious platform that has since 2001 hosted several hundred East European filmmakers and producers, around a hundred commissioning editors, and tens of international distributors, sales agents and festival programmers.



The stories and topics of projects at this year's East European Forum are as varied as their styles. Here are just some of them: Ivo Bystřičan's documentary essay Under (the) Construction captures the clash between a construction engineer and an environmental activist over a highway planned at a Czech nature reserve. In Show!, Bohdan Bláhovec follows girls who are turned into pop stars, and unmasks the workings of the Czech show business. Jan Gogola will pitch Village City that documents an elaborate art project put together by Czech artist Kateřina Šedá. Velvet Terrorists by Slovak filmmaker Peter Kerekes brings to light several cases of small-time domestic terrorism in former Czechoslovakia. In Belarusian Toys, young Lithunian filmmaker Lina Luzyte travels to Zhlobin, Belarus, to retrieve a sad picture of an impoverished town once thriving on plush toys. Nebojša Slijepčević from Croatia will present Gangster of Love, a documentary comedy about a matchmaker for lonely men in remote parts of Croatia. Israeli filmmaker Itamar Rose opens up a sensitive subject in My Village - the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from territories occupied by Israel. Baltoro Pasage by Polish filmmaker Eliza Kubarska follows a group of young people as they undertake a perilous journey through the Karakoram to visit the place where their parents died years ago. For over a year, Grzegorz Pacek was involved with the project Ewa, tracing the steps of the human rights activist Ewa Jasiewicz who was part of the humanitarian convoy to Gaza targeted by Israel in May 2010. Tatyana Soboleva's Russian-French project Heralds from the Big World joins a floating hospital that navigates Siberia to reach patients in isolated areas. Diana's List by Croatian director Dana Budisavljević recounts the story of a remarkable woman who took care of some 12 thousand children during WWII. Daniel Begun's Good Night, White Pride focuses on various antifascist groups and their followers in contemporary Russia. An uncommon reunion is the subject of Željko Mirković's The Second Meeting - eleven years after a Serbian officer shot down an F-117A with a U.S. pilot. Other projects: Jail Team (dir. Genka Shikerova, Petko Gyulchev, Bulgaria); Far Encounters (dir. Vilim Zlender, Marko Stanić, Croatia, Moldova, Netherlands); The Life of My Father (dir. Margareta Hrůza, Czech Republic); Not My Land (dir. Alyona Surzhikova, Estonia); Blueberry Spirits (dir. Astra Zoldnere, Latvia); The Domino Effect (dir. Piotr Rosolowski, Elwira Niewiera, Poland); Belgrade, Kosovo (dir. Marko Popović, Serbia); Bells of Happiness (dir. Marek Šulík, Jana Bučka, Slovakia); The Bloody Sands of Libya (dir. Ladislav Kaboš, Slovakia).

15 recently completed documentary films that were in the past pitched at the East European Forum have been included in this year's East Silver Market to benefit from its distribution support.

EAST SILVER 2011


East Silver Market - Specialized documentary market for industry professionals
October 25 – 30, 2011 | 10:00 – 22:00 | Industry + press accreditation|Festival Center, Vysočina County Gallery, Komenského 10, Jihlava, Czech Republic

The 8th East Silver Market is coming to Jihlava to offer its slate of new documentary films from Central and Eastern Europe. Industry professionals - commissioning editors, sales agents, distributors, and festival programmers - will be able to browse the market's digitized video library of 249 documentary films, along with some 100 films from the festival programme, made in 2010/2011.

The Silver Eye Awards recognize the best documentary films included in the East Silver Market. The Silver Eye Awards are presented in three categories - short, mid-length, and feature documentary film - and the winners are decided by international juries made up of our industry guests:



Best Short Documentary Film:

Elizabeth Marschan / DocPoint Helsinki


Debra Zimmerman / Women Make Movies
Andrew Catauro / American Documentary/POV

Best Mid-length Documentary Film:
Kathryn Bonnici / Java Films
Martin Pieper / ZDF/ARTE
Sally Berger / MoMa - Museum of Modern Art
Best Feature Documentary Film:
Claudia Bucher / ARTE G.E.I.E.
Luciano Barisone / Visions du réel
Diana Holtzberg / Films Transit International

The winner in each category will receive EUR 1,500 and yearlong festival service from East Silver. The Silver Eye Award winners will be announced October 29, 2011 at the Closing Ceremony of the 15th Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival.



Two Czech documentaries are in the running for the Silver Eye Awards. Shortlisted for the Silver Eye Award in the documentary feature category, Martin Mareček's Solar Eclipse follows two Czech experts who electrified buildings in a remote Zambian village and now revisit the place after four years. Competing in the documentary short category, The Chronicle of Oldrich S. by Rudolf Šmíd captures the peculiar one-sentence diary a man who has been recording everyday events for over 20 years.

Austria and Poland are strongly represented among the nominees. Out of a total of six Austrian nominees, five are in the documentary feature category. Among them, for instance, Nikolaus Geyrhalter's Abendland that takes us on a long journey across nighttime Europe, and Ruth Beckermann's American Passages that travels across the United States. Polish filmmaker Tomasz Wolski brings a remarkable documentary film titled Doctors that follows the daily efforts of surgeons at a Polish hospital. In Argentinian Lesson, director Wojciech Staron captures the events that unfolded during his family's stay in Argentina. Another outstanding documentary is Motherland or Death by Russian director Vitaly Manskiy that puts an end to any romantic ideas about Cuba, a country whose image is strikingly different from its reality.

East Silver's year-round support and promotion of East European documentary films at various international festivals and markets is implemented under the East Silver Caravan. East Silver TV Focus serves to provide documentary films with more opportunities for international TV broadcast.

Thanks to the East Silver Caravan, Erika Hníková's Matchmaking Mayor enjoyed screenings at Hot Docs, Canada; DocAviv, Israel; Antenna IDFF, Australia; Bafici Buenos Aires, and Berlinale. Vít Klusák's All for the Good of the World and Nosovice was in competition at DOCSDF Mexico City, ZagrebDox, and Trieste Film Festival. Also in last year's East Silver Caravan, Tomáš Kudrna's All That Glitters received the main award at Cronograf, Moldova, and appeared in the lineup of One World Romania.

MASTER CLASSES, CASE STUDIES, LECTURES, SEMINARS


October 24 – 30, 2010 | Festival Center - Vysočina County Gallery, Komenského 10, Jihlava, Czech Republic | Assembly Hall - Secondary Graphic Art School (Březinovy sady 31, Jihlava, Czech Republic)

MASTER CLASSES

On top of the main events, the IDF Industry Programme will also be open to broader audiences with an insight into the work of several notable filmmakers. Swedish filmmaker Erik Gandini, Polish filmmaker Marcin Koszalka, Lithuanian filmmaker Audrius Stonys, and Russian filmmaker, producer and festival director Vitaly Manskiy will host special master classes to discuss their films and creative methods.



CASE STUDIES

A case study hosted by Georgian filmmaker Salome Jashi will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the development, production and funding of her documentary film Bakhmaro, completed with IDF's support. What's it like for a West European producer in Eastern Europe? Answers will be provided in a case study on the documentary film Jack, the Balkans & I hosted by Fleur Knopperts and Denis Vaslin of the Dutch production company Volya Films. In their presentation Documentary Exhibition in the U.S., Sally Berger (MoMA, USA) and independent festival programmer Irena Kovářová will outline various ways in which documentary films reach American audiences.



LECTURES

The process of documentary production and distribution has been undergoing radical changes throughout the world. The fast-changing rules and technological developments in the media landscape have had a huge impact on not only the development of documentary films and their availability to audiences, but also on the very form of the genre and the way it communicates with reality. These and other topics will be discussed in lectures by Finnish expert and longtime YLE CE Ikka Vehkalahti; former Director of Programming at Hot Docs Sean Farnel, and Jakob Høgel of the Danish Film Institute.



TV AND MEDIA MANAGEMENT SEMINAR

This interactive seminar will focus on current issues of the changing broadcasting market. Broadcasters have to adjust their structure to the new distribution of roles, lower budgets and an increasing demand for competitiveness. The linear system of broadcasting is at the crossroads. EBU's former director Bjorn Erichsen and ETMA's director Paul Pauwels will explore the pressing issues of recent months and years with representatives of East European broadcasters.



PROJECT MARKET

Available to all participants of the East European Forum and the East Silver Market, as well as to registered industry guests, the Project Market consists of one-on-one meetings with commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, and festival programmers.



CO-PRODUCTION BREAKFASTS

A series of three morning meetings will provide details on documentary funding and potential co-production partners in the Baltic states, Romania, and the Czech Republic.



NETWORKING DINNERS
Two informal dinners will connect Czech and East European filmmakers with international commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, and festival programmers.

INDUSTRY SCREENINGS
Open to industry guests and members of the press, these screenings are available for the Silver Eye Award nominees, and registered completed films or rough cuts.

DESIGN CONCEPT ON THE ROAD

We work with films that are halfway between the initial idea and completion. We pass our opinions from a privileged and safe position, risking nothing compared to the authors. Next year, IDF will take its first steps out of this sheltered place, towards a thrilling future and unexplored horizons.

Our activities in Jihlava always follow one design concept, this time with the fitting slogan On the Road.

We're just about ready to hit the road…
