“Thanks to my 4-year experience as a Distribution Manager at Taskovski Films and 5-year experience with running the distribution company OutCome I am very well familiar with issues that directors and producers of documentary films are faced with today. I find the Industry Programme organised by the Jihlava IDFF innovative and practical and I am happy to be able to further develop the programme so it can continue helping with the creation and distribution of notable creative documentary films, not only from Central and Eastern Europe.
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments or suggestions for how we can be of help. I am looking forward to our future cooperation!” says Jarmila Outratová, who can be reached at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Retrospective of Nicolas Philibert at DAFilms.com
This French director is a critic of documentary activism who calls himself “a bit of an anti-Michael Moore”. He doesn't want to „think for the audience“, but he „offers them something they can think about“. Philibert gained attention especially thanks to his successful film To Be and To Have, in which he portrayed a French single-class school and its specifics. A combination of a sensitive perspective and an original topic depicting ordinary life resulted in a worldwide commercial success.
Stream FOR FREE at DAFilms.com from June 10 to 23!
