Ji.hlava Documentary Festival Chief on Ramping Up Competition Section, Shifting Focus to Artisans Jules Rosskam Encourages Transgender Men to Be Open About Their Sexuality in 'Desire Lines' Ji.hlava's 25th Edition Launches, Honoring Tough Czech Reporting and 'Brave' Documentary Filming in Belarus The project grew out of what began as a short film in 2011 for Czech TV as Jablonska moved onto following her three subjects who age out of the system at 18 as they struggle to find their way in the real world – but discover they are seriously under-equipped to handle it. Filming her subjects for eight years, she spent a decade on “Leaving Beginnings Behind,” screening in the Czech Joy section of the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival.
