Media Coverage of Jihlava IDFF 2014
“And the festival itself has capitalized on its remote location from a major city to create a rich program of venturesome docs from Eastern and Central Europe, as well as work from Western Europe, the US, Burma, Syria and Israel, among other countries. The festival also spotlighted the work of such masters as Godfrey Reggio, Filipino director Kidlat Tahimik and the late Alain Resnais. Reggio and Tahimik were on hand to teach master classes, along with such luminaries as Nicolas Philibert and Bing Wang,” writes Tom White in his extensive report for Documentary.
