Ji.hlava New Visions Forum: U.S. Docs

Ji.hlava New Visions is a financing, co-production and networking event dedicated to supporting documentary production in its diversity and creativity.

Ji.hlava New Visions Forum: U.S. Docs

The Ji.hlava New Visions Forum: U.S. Docs 2024 will feature eight U.S. projects in development as well as in production and post-production.

The selected projects traditionally include diverse genres and audiovisual formats – such as fiction films with documentary aspects, hybrid, cinema expanded, experimental and short films. The platform aims at effectively connecting the U.S. documentary filmmakers with the potential co-producers, distributors, sales representatives and film festivals from Europe.

The documentary projects presented at the Ji.hlava New Visions: U.S. Docs in the past years have later premiered at SXSW, Tribeca and other festivals.

Format

The projects are presented by the director-producer pair along with a preview of the upcoming film. The pitching takes place in October during the Ji.hlava IDFF and is available to all Ji.hlava industry accreditation holders.

The most promising project selected by a jury receives a cash award in cooperation with our partner American Documentary And Animation Film Festival (AmDocs).
