A Horizontal Films Media co-production led by producer Rose Kowalski, THE UNFIXING was shot on location in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain and the United States. The film was selected for Only in NY and DocsBarcelona Industry Days, and has been supported by NY Council on the Arts, Karen Toffler Institute, Women Make Movies Production Assistance Program, and Antaviana Films.
The Ji.hlava IDFF takes place from October 25th – November 3rd offering 340 films in both competition and non-competition sections, of which 129 are world premieres, 23 international premieres and 11European premieres.
“The programme of Ji.hlava shows the extraordinary power of documentary film. Documentary filmmakers replace the literalness of reality with playfulness and originality of thought. They show us the world as we could hardly see it ourselves – unless, like them, we would like to spend long years with a camera in those places,” says Marek Hovorka, the festival’s director. “Dialogue has been important to Ji.hlava since its beginning, so of course the screenings will be followed by talks. I am delighted that the audience will be able to meet many filmmakers in person, including Kirsten Johnson, Tsai Ming-liang, Roberto Minervini, Andrei Ujică and Albert Serra.”
Please reach out to us if you will be there – we would love to see you.
