The 26th edition of the Ji.hlava Intl. Documentary Film Festival will screen 300 films, including a retrospective on American Oscar-winning innovator Shirley Clarke, and what fest organizers describe as the largest-ever retrospective of Filipino cinema outside Asia.
The fest, running Oct. 25-30, will include work on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a conference on ethics in documentary filmmaking.
Some 95 films are world premieres, 33 are international bows and six are European firsts.
Films include what fest director Marek Hovorka calls one of the earliest known feature-length documentaries, shot in the Philippines in 1913. “Native Life in the Philippines” by Dean C. Worcester will screen alongside 40 other Filipino works spanning a wide variety of genres and formats. Some, including “Advance of Kansas Volunteers at Caloocan,” a U.S. war doc produced by the Edison Manufacturing Co., date back to the American invasion of the islands.
