What all is happening and unfolding between the world, the camera, and the audience? This edited film, composed of footage from the festival’s “Minutes from Jihlava to the Mind” series, masterclass recordings, and interviews, weaves together the reflections of guests at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival on how meaning is created, what film representation does to reality, and how rhythm, editing, sound, and creative choices transform our perception of the reality being depicted.
