Inspiration Forum

Podcast

Where will our dreams of the future take us—and who might we leave behind along the way? What does it mean when something is called “smart”—a household, technology… or even war? And how can we change the world without repeating past mistakes? The Screenshot podcast series from the Jihlava Documentary Film Festival’s Inspiration Forum brings you some of the most thought-provoking conversations from across the globe.

In this new season, science journalist Pavla Hubálková dives into the ideas of environmental philosopher Timothy Morton, feminist theorist Helen Hester, economist Nick Srnicek, lawyer Kirthi Jayakumar, and activist Cheryl Maloney.

Special episodes will feature original recordings of selected discussions from last year’s forum.

You can find all episodes on podcast platforms Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as on Deník Referendum.
