Dear festival visitors, we would like to assure you that the film program will take place according to plan and in accordance with the regulations, i.e. November 5-12, 2020 in Prague and November 14-21, 2020 in Brno. According to the Resolution of the Government of the Czech Republic No. 958 on the adoption of a crisis measure, cinemas can fill a capacity of up to 500 spectators, which applies to all our festival cinemas. We will certainly follow the rules that protect you and those around you (e.g. wearing face masks, using disinfectant), but you will keep your favorite festival. The State Fund of Cinematography of the Czech Republic wrote a clear explanation for the field of audiovisual, where you can read the details.

One thing is clear. Once again, she has put the incredible creativity, energy and commitment into the concept, which makes us so happy to work with her.

On August 13, we organize the distribution premiere of the film Lola, which will be presented by the director Laurent Micheli himself in the Lucerna cinema. And he won't be alone. The protagonist of the film, Mya Bollaers, will also honor the audience with her visit. In the story, she convincingly portrayed the emotional transformation of the main character Lola and was nominated for a number of film awards for her performance. The role of an unrestrained teenage girl earned her a significant Magritte Award for Best Actress. Follow the up-to-date information about the event on Facebook. (Photo: Julie Reggiani)
