3. NEW AT THE 15TH JI.HLAVA IDFFINSPIRATION FORUM One new addition for film professionals this year is the Inspiration Forum, a unique project where filmmakers can meet with inspiring personalities from various professions in order to identify and initiate subjects that have remained unnoticed by documentary film. Among other things, the forum will connect filmmakers and festival audiences with inspiring personalities from the world of art, science, literature, and philosophy. The program will be divided into three parts: a public section and two closed sections for IF participants selected from applications submitted by European film directors.
“More than once while preparing a film, I have felt the need to consult my intended subject, because dialogue always offers a new view of any given subject. The usual consultations with the producer or dramaturge are not always enough, which is why I welcome the idea of expanding the field to include other fields and experts outside of the film industry,” states the Inspiration Forum’s curator Filip Remunda in explaining the basic idea behind the forum, adding, “This year’s instructors – who represent three continents, a diverse range of historical experiences, and various personal stories – have one thing in common, and that is courage. I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of this experiment, in which Czech and European filmmakers meet with a Cuban exile writer, an Indian educational expert who I’m calling the Comenius of India, and two members of the provocative Russian art group Voina." This year, filmmakers will find inspiration from four individuals. Cuban poet and author Carlos A. Aguilera is a member of the country’s youngest generation of authors and founder of the now banned magazine Diáspora(s). He currently lives in exile in Central Europe. Indian educational development expert Y. A. Padmanabha Rao helped to develop an innovative project that managed to involve more than 10 million children from 200,000 schools in the poorest regions of the world in education. He has received numerous awards for his activities, including a UNESCO award. Alexey Plutser-Sarno and Jana Sarna are members of the provocative Russian art group Voina, one of whose members is currently in prison and other members are under heavy police surveillance. Their political and activist-oriented happenings and installations are inspired by performance art and street-art.
The survey of radio documentaries will start with Before the Concert, After the Concert by leading Czech radio documentarian Zdeněk Bouček, followed by an introduction of works by the young generation of documentarians. Hana Malaníková will present I’m Not in the Cuban Resistance Yet, her documentary about a group of Czech tourists’ encounter with Cuban reality. Also in attendance at the DIOD will be poet and radio director Miloš Doležal, whose documentary A Smoke-Filled Sky looks at the stories behind the extermination of the village of Ležáky during World War II. Author, documentarian, and radio documentary theorist Andrea Hanáčková will look at fusions of radio and radio documentaries with film, television, and new media. In this relation, she will present the Danish film The Love Police, the winner of the 2007 Prix Europa, which uses a reality show to look at the country’s immigration policy. For the conclusion of the three-day survey, we have invited young British producer Nina Garthwaite, who works with the volunteer-based organization In the Dark Radio to hold public hearings and presentations of radio documentaries at locations throughout Great Britain. Garthwaite will also present this year’s Heel, Toe, Step Together, a successful piece by talented English documentarian Katie Burningham that won first prize in the radio documentary category of the prestigious Sony Award. Documentarian Hana Železná will explore audio design, poetry, and radio. This year’s radio survey will conclude with meditations on the mixing of film and radio documentary approaches. “I am looking forward to the works by young documentarians, and am curious about how their works fare in an international comparison. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the section’s organizers as well as participants,” says Peter Duhan, general director of Czech Radio, adding, “Radio documentaries are a magnificent form of radio production reflecting the creator’s personality, originality, and inventiveness. I am convinced that this year’s premiere will be the first of many years to come.” Czech Radio is also involved in the IDFF’s accompanying program. In the festival tent at 9pm on Friday, 28 October, festivalgoers can look forward to a talk show by the mute Miss Jarka, a regular contributor to Czech Radio 3-Vltava. In addition to hosting Czech documentarians, she has also invited the phenomenal Hugo Paczolt, master of the bass guitar and star of “punk chanson.” At 10pm, her show is followed by live concert by the electroacoustic Floex project, which recently released its first new album in 10 years, Zorya. The evening will culminate in a special Floex DJ set, a characteristic search for parallels in contemporary dance electronica.
