Doc Lounge sits on the jury for the Silver Eye Award
Today marks the start of the Jihlava Interational Documentary Film Festival in Jihlava, in the Czech Republic. It's the largest documentary film festival in Eastern Europe, featuring more than 250 films - including 78 premieres (world, European and international)! Together with a range of other categories, Jihlava IDFF also features six different competition sections - for international documentaries, Czech films, debut directors and more.
We're very proud to say that our very own Maja Lindquist, co-director for Doc Lounge, is on the jury at the East Silver Market - an industry event closely connected to the IDFF organized by the Institute of Documentary Film. The aim of the Market is to "to support distribution and promotion of documentary films" from Central and Eastern Europe and to give out the Silver Eye Award to the "best documentaries from the market". A total of 30 films compete in three categories, and Maja will sit on the jury for the mid-length film category.
Maja will be at Jihvala IDFF from Wednesday to Friday (28-30 October). If you're there and want to meet up with her, send us an email!
