Your CDF team

The spring seems not to have yet awaken, but the CDF is already fully at work, offering educational courses starting this week.
Our offer includes a variety of attractive courses, so don’t wait for the spring to come and visit the CDF!

All TV and film fans are cordially invited to a screening organised by the CDF on Wednesday evening, presenting Czech reality show Golden Youth aired last autumn on Czech Television.

A schedule of evening screenings from February till May 2016 is now available.

On February 3, starting at 7:30 pm in the Edison Hall of the Dukla Cinema, the CDF will host Janek Rubeš, the author of a series of reportages on the practices among Prague’s taxi drivers,. This event comes as the first of a three-part series organised by the CDF under the title Reality Show. The episode Prague vs. Money has become hugely popular thanks to the online TV stream.cz  and Rubeš has thus managed to draw attention to this burning social issue, which will hopefully soon be competently resolved.

Dlouho jsme přemýšleli nad tím, jak v Centru bude kolem Vánoc otevřeno. A jelikož bychom rádi vyhověli Vašemu zájmu a zároveň si také dostatečně před začátkem Nového roku odpočinuli, rozhodli jsme se takto:

23. - 27. 12. 2015 - ZAVŘENO

28. - 29. 12. 2015 - OTEVŘENO

30. 12. 2015 - ZAVŘENO (otevřeme však případným zájemcům po telefonické domluvě - 774 101 686)

Děkujeme za pochopení a budeme se na vás těšit!

Krásné svátky a šťastný Nový rok přeje tým CDF:)

This morning, Czech Radio Radiožurnál hosted the director, Andrea Culková. Does her name sound familiar? Sure! 

The Christmas is nearing and the month of December is often filled with stress and hurry. However, it is also a peak season for educational projects and public screenings that keep the whole CDF busy.

A two-day workshop with outstanding Czech documentary filmmakers (Vít Janeček, Drahomíra Vihanová, Vít Klusák, etc.) in which they will explore the borderline between fiction and documentary film. In addition to a series of lectures, the participants will be offered a wide range of benefits.

This week’s third lecture on Sound and Music in Film is cancelled. It will be postponed to next Thursday – 26 November, again at 1:30 pm.

As part of extending our scope of reach, we organise late afternoon and evening screenings for the public. The upcoming second screening is aptly titled “A Dinner at the CDF”. 

We would like to inform you that all today’s lessons organised by the CDF will be held in the DIOD Cinema.

During the festival week, the Centre for Documentary Film will be open from 10:00 AM until 11:00 PM.

Come and see for yourselves!

We are looking forward to your visit!

For the upcoming school season, The Center for  Documentary Film prepared many new courses. One of the highlights is a set of two workshops for elementary school pupils. It focuses on film animation techniques and the history of the development of animated inventions. We offer a single workshop suitable also for first grade children, or a series of three lessons, that delves deeper into the art of animation filmmaking.

It takes a great deal of stubbornness to complete a degree in arts, regardless of whether your focus on the theory or practice. The Center for Documentary Film and Jihlava IDFF support your decision and will help you in your efforts. 

Today and each following Tuesday at 9:00 pm, Czech Television 2 will for several weeks broadcast a series of Czech documentary films. Tonight, you can watch Martin Dušek’s Into the Clouds We Gaze (2014). This film has already been presented as part of CDF’s educational programme – and you can see for yourself that film lessons are far from boring.

This year again, documentary film fans can look forward to screenings held at unusual venues in Jihlava in late August.

The Center for Documentary Film team is hiring new members.

We are looking for reliable, responsible and flexible candidates interested in culture (documentary focus preferable), with PC skills, who would be able to ensure decent representation and operation of the CDF office.

One of the last additions to CDF’s library fund is the publication of Generace Jihlava (Jihlava Generation) (ed. Lucie Česálková) and we bring a brief annotation of the title:

CDF made an appearance at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, showcasing the outcomes of our work. As part of the annual Docu Talents from the East (Jihlava IDFF), we boasted of CDF’s research achievements. We dedicated the whole of June to diligent work on our research, and we believe that we have produced a very interesting output. 

Monday, July 6, is a Czech national holiday and CDF will be closed. You can visit us on the following working day, Tuesday, July 7. 

At the end of June, the CDF launched its newsletter. The first issue was distributed to all of our followers and supporters featuring, among other information, many interesting facts and overviews of CDF’s activities that took place in the first half of 2015 – mainly related to lectures, box office figures, guests and CDF’s overall contribution to the sphere of documentary film theory. It also brings information about films screened during the courses and details regarding the past courses and the lecturers.

Director of Jihlava IDFF Marek Hovorka has introduced this year's visual and theme concept by unveiling the festival poster of the 19th edition of Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival. Hovorka also uncovered important changes in festival organization and introduced the very first and exclusive guest of Inspiration Forum.

Journalist and reporter David Macháček (1970) won in the category for Best Audiovisual Reportage of the Journalist Awards. We are proud that he is one of our affiliated lectors and we are capable of providing you with the very best of what the Czech scene has to offer.

In the week of April 20th – 24th we can look forward to a number of extremely interesting lectures, also some very important experts will come to lecture on their area of professional interest. 

Would you like to know who it will be? 

We would like to notify visitors and others who might be interested that during this week (April 13th-17th) the educational lectures and screenings will be held in DIOD- Divadlo otevřených dveří, Tyršova 12, 586 01 Jihlava.

The carousel of educational lectures and screenings is in full swing, in that we have our guests that will be attending as the lecturers.

This time on Wednesday (April 8th) it will be the documentary filmmaker and sociologist Martin Kohout (1984). With this, the cycle named Contemporary Czech Documentary Film will begin. As the name suggests it will be dedicated to the analysis and development of Czech documentary film, its typical elements and the exceptions.

On Wednesday, March 18th, the director and documentarian Jan Látal will be coming to Jihlava to introduce the one-time lecture, From the Treatment to the Premiere, or the Basics of the creative process behind creating an audiovisual piece of work.

What we promise, we are ready to fulfill.

We are putting together a program for educational lectures and screenings to be held in March and April, we are filling the library with new publications and fine-tuning the linked online search of books as well as films.

As part of the international conference, Film Education for the 21^st century (Filmová výchova pro 21. Století), which was held January 14^th-18^th, at the Prague cinema Ponrepo, two of our representatives will introduce the concept, activities and goals of the CDF. The event is hosted by the NFA and the company Free Cinema. The program of open film education will offer a wide range of activities concentrating on the current state and an overview on the issue of film and audiovisual education for both professionals, as well as the general public. We will be glad if you show us your support in person at the event. You can find out more information on the web pages of the Film Education.

Due to this, the CDF in Jihlava will be closed on January 17^th. We look forward to seeing you again on Sunday.
